摘要:

本文报道了利用VLBA和全球VLBI阵列对射电星系1946+708进行的多频、多历元甚长基线干涉测量观测。从这些高分辨率的观测,我们推断的运动学年龄的射电源是$\sim$ 4000年,与其他紧凑的对称对象(CSO)的年龄。喷流成分对的喷射似乎发生在10年的时间尺度上,喷流中的这些成分以0.6和0.9 c之间的固有速度向外传播。从喷流组分的内禀速度不能超过光速这一约束出发,我们从从核心发射的最快的一对组分中推导出H_0 > 57 km s^-1 Mpc^-1。我们提供了强有力的证据,在1997年的一对新的组件的喷射。从喷流分量的轨迹中,我们推断喷流最有可能是螺旋限制的,而不是本质上纯粹的弹道。

英文摘要:

We report on a multi-frequency, multi-epoch campaign of Very Long Baseline Interferometry observations of the radio galaxy 1946+708 using the VLBA and a Global VLBI array. From these high-resolution observations we deduce the kinematic age of the radio source to be $\sim$4000 years, comparable with the ages of other Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs). Ejections of pairs of jet components appears to take place on time scales of 10 years and these components in the jet travel outward at intrinsic velocities between 0.6 and 0.9 c. From the constraint that jet components cannot have intrinsic velocities faster than light, we derive H_0 > 57 km s^-1 Mpc^-1 from the fastest pair of components launched from the core. We provide strong evidence for the ejection of a new pair of components in ~1997. From the trajectories of the jet components we deduce that the jet is most likely to be helically confined, rather than purely ballistic in nature.
