摘要:

在M87强大的喷流中,距离核心100 pc的明亮特征显示出神秘的特性。早期的无线电、光学和X射线观测表明,这个被标记为HST-1的特征是超光速的,可能与HESS在2005年探测到的TeV耀斑有关。为了研究HST-1可能的耀变体性质,我们分析了2000年至2008年期间专门的全轨道观测和2 cm调查/MOJAVE VLBI监测计划的2 cm VLBA数据。应用宽视场成像技术,HST-1区域以毫角秒分辨率成像。在这里,我们提出了第一个15 GHz的VLBI检测这个功能,并讨论我们的无线电发现和TeV检测之间的连接。

英文摘要:

A bright feature 100 pc away from the core in the powerful jet of M 87 shows mysterious properties. Earlier radio, optical and X-ray observations have shown that this feature, labelled HST-1, is superluminal, and is possibly connected with the TeV flare detected by HESS in 2005. To examine the possible blazar-like nature of HST-1, we analyzed 2 cm VLBA data from dedicated full-track observations and the 2 cm survey/MOJAVE VLBI monitoring programs observed from 2000 to 2008. Applying wide-field imaging techniques, the HST-1 region was imaged at milliarcsecond resolutions. Here we present the first 15 GHz VLBI detection of this feature and discuss the connection between our radio findings and the TeV detection.
