摘要:

我们提出了一个运动学分析的BL Lac对象S5 1803+784,这并没有揭示长期向外运动的大部分组件的VLBI喷流中的喷流组件的运动。了解复杂的运动学现象可能有助于了解类星体和BL Lac天体之间的差异。在1993.88 ~ 2005.68年间,利用VLBI技术在$ν$ =1.6,2.3,5,8.4和15 GHz对Blazar S5 1803+784进行了26次观测。我们(重新)分析数据,并提出高斯模型拟合。我们收集了已经发表的运动学信息,这个来源的文献和重新确定的组件,根据本文提出的新方案。总共调查了94个观测时期。对长期运动学的仔细研究揭示了S5 1803+784中部件运动的新图像。与先前讨论的运动场景相反,我们发现,在距离地核12质量质量范围内的喷流结构,最容易用几个明亮的喷流特征的共存来描述,这些特征在地核间隔大致恒定的情况下,长期保持不变(除了已知的{ \it静止}喷流成分$\sim$ 1.4 mas)和一个以视超光速运动的微弱成分($\sim$ 19 c,基于3个时期)。虽然大多数组件与核心保持长期大致恒定的距离,但我们观察到它们的位置角度发生了显著而平滑的变化。我们报告了近12年的观测,整个射流脊线随时间的演变。喷流宽度呈周期性变化,周期为$\sim$ 8 ~ 9年。我们发现的位置角和最大值的总通量密度的变化之间的相关性。我们提出的证据的几何起源的现象,并讨论可能的模型。

英文摘要:

We present a kinematic analysis of jet component motion in the VLBI jet of the BL Lac object S5 1803+784, which does not reveal long-term outward motion for most of the components. Understanding the complex kinematic phenomena can possibly provide insights into the differences between quasars and BL Lac objects. The blazar S5 1803+784 has been studied with VLBI at $ν$ =1.6, 2.3, 5, 8.4, and 15 GHz between 1993.88 and 2005.68 in 26 observing runs. We (re)analyzed the data and present Gaussian model-fits. We collected the already published kinematic information for this source from the literature and re-identified the components according to the new scenario presented in this paper. Altogether, 94 epochs of observations have been investigated. A careful study of the long-term kinematics reveals a new picture for component motion in S5 1803+784. In contrast to previously discussed motion scenarios, we find that the jet structure within 12 mas of the core can most easily be described by the coexistence of several bright jet features that remain on the long-term at roughly constant core separations (in addition to the already known {\it stationary} jet component $\sim$ 1.4 mas) and one faint component moving with an apparent superluminal speed ($\sim$ 19c, based on 3 epochs). While most of the components maintain long-term roughly constant distances from the core, we observe significant, smooth changes in their position angles. We report on an evolution of the whole jet ridge line with time over the almost 12 years of observations. The width of the jet changes periodically with a period of $\sim$ 8 to 9 years. We find a correlation between changes in the position angle and maxima in the total flux-density. We present evidence for a geometric origin of the phenomena and discuss possible models.
