对M87喷气发动机扩口特性的详细观察
A closer look at the flaring feature in the M87 jet
摘要:
M 87中无线电噪音很大的活动星系核拥有一个强大的喷流,其中心有一个超大质量的黑洞。据报道,距离M 87核心80 pc的明亮特征显示出超光速运动,并可能与2005年左右观测到的TeV耀斑有关。为了补充这些研究,并了解这一功能的性质,我们分析了2000年和2009年之间的15个观测运行2厘米VLBI数据。从2003年到2007年,在毫央斯基水平上成功地检测到了这一特征。我们的探测结果表明,它的毫角秒结构似乎是一个陡峭的频谱扩展,并没有紧凑或快速移动的功能被观察到。我们的研究结果不赞成耀变体的情况下,这一功能。
英文摘要:
The radio-loud active galactic nucleus in M 87 hosts a powerful jet fueled by a super-massive black hole in its center. A bright feature 80 pc away from the M 87 core has been reported to show superluminal motions, and possibly to be connected with a TeV flare observed around 2005. To complement these studies and to understand the nature of this feature, we analyzed 2 cm VLBI data from 15 observing runs between 2000 and 2009. This feature is successfully detected at the milli-Jansky level from 2003 to 2007. Our detections show that its milli-arcsecond structure appears to be extended with a steep spectrum, and no compact or rapidly moving features are observed. Our results do not favor a blazar scenario for this feature.
