AGN喷流中的绝热膨胀和磁场

Adiabatic expansion and magnetic fields in AGN jets

A. B. Pushkarev, Y. Y. Kovalev, A. P. Lobanov

摘要:

分析了活动星系核中相对论喷流的高分辨率同时多频8.1-15.4 GHz VLBA偏振观测(MOJAVE-2项目)的结果。我们比较了VLBI特征与喷流模型预测的特征,并检验了绝热膨胀是否是秒差距尺度活动星系核喷流中相对论性激波演化的主导机制。我们还讨论了磁场配置,无论是预测的模型和推导出的电矢量位置角测量。

英文摘要:

Results of high-resolution simultaneous multi-frequency 8.1-15.4 GHz VLBA polarimetric observations of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (the MOJAVE-2 project) are analyzed. We compare characteristics of VLBI features with jet model predictions and test if adiabatic expansion is a dominating mechanism for the evolution of relativistic shocks in parsec-scale AGN jets. We also discuss magnetic field configuration, both predicted by the model and deduced from electric vector position angle measurements.
