We have studied the growth of the shell-like radio structure of supernova SN1993J in M81 from September 1993 through October 2003 with very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations at the wavelengths of 3.6, 6, and 18cm. For this purpose, we have developed a method to accurately determine the outer radius (R) of any circularly symmetric compact radio structure like SN1993J.
The source structure of SN1993J remains circularly symmetric (with deviations from circularity under 2%) over almost 4000 days. We characterize the decelerated expansion of SN 1993J through approximately day 1500 after explosion with an expansion parameter $m= 0.845\pm0.005$ ($R \propto t^{m}$). However, from that day onwards the expansion is different when observed at 6 and 18cm. Indeed, at 18cm, the expansion can be well characterized by the same $m$ as before day 1500, while at 6cm the expansion appears more decelerated, and is characterized by another expansion parameter, $m_{6}= 0.788\pm0.015$. Therefore, since about day 1500 on, the radio source size has been progressively smaller at 6cm than at 18cm. These findings are in stark contrast to previous reports by other authors on the details of the expansion. In our interpretation the supernova expands with a single expansion parameter, $m= 0.845\pm0.005$, and the 6cm results beyond day 1500 are due to physical effects, perhaps also coupled to instrumental limitations. Two physical effects may be involved: (a) a changing opacity of the ejecta to the 6cm radiation, and (b) a radial decrease of the magnetic field in the emitting region.

A decade of multi-wavelength observations of the TeV blazar 1ES 1215+303: Extreme shift of the synchrotron peak frequency and long-term optical-gamma-ray flux increase
耀变体以其在所有波长的宽时间尺度上的可变性而闻名。大多数TeV伽玛射线耀变体的研究集中在短时间尺度上,特别是在耀斑期间。利用Fermi-LAT和VERITAS的十年观测,我们对blazar 1 ES 1215+303(z=0.130)的长期多波长射电到伽马射线通量密度变化进行了广泛的研究,并增加了几个短期射电结构和光学偏振观测,重点关注其伽马射线发射从100 MeV到30 TeV。在十年期间观测到多个强GeV伽马射线耀斑,伽马射线和光通量基线的长期增加以及这两个波段之间的线性相关。在源的射电形态和宽带频谱中识别出典型的HBL行为。VLBA在43.1,22.2和15.3 GHz的最里面的射流解决了三个固定的功能。我们采用了两个组件的同步自康普顿模型来描述不同的通量状态的源,包括在此期间,观察到的能量的同步峰值频率从红外到软X射线的极端移位的时代。
