摘要:

GHz峰值频谱(GPS)射电源被认为是年轻的天体,后来演变成FR-I和FR-II射电星系。我们使用澳大利亚望远镜20 GHz(AT 20 G)的调查目录,选择一个统一的样本的GPS源的频谱峰值高于5 GHz,这应该代表这一类的最年轻的成员。在本文中,我们提出了10个这样的对象,与附近(z<0.15)的星系,因此代表了一个新的人口的本地,低功率GPS源的e-VLBI观测。我们的e-VLBI观测是在4.8GHz的澳大利亚望远镜长基线阵列(LBA)上使用实时软件相关器进行的。所有10个源都被检测到,并且在~ 100 mas的尺度上未被分辨,这意味着它们的线性尺寸通常小于100 pc。

英文摘要:

GHz-peaked spectrum (GPS) radio sources are thought to be young objects which later evolve into FR-I and FR-II radio galaxies. We have used the Australia Telescope 20GHz (AT20G) survey catalogue to select a uniform sample of GPS sources with spectral peaks above 5GHz, which should represent the youngest members of this class. In this paper, we present e-VLBI observations of ten such objects which are associated with nearby (z<0.15) galaxies and so represent a new population of local, low--power GPS sources. Our e-VLBI observations were carried out at 4.8GHz with the Australia Telescope Long Baseline Array (LBA) using a real--time software correlator. All ten sources were detected, and were unresolved on scales of ~100mas, implying that they are typically less than 100pc in linear size.
