摘要:

对于BL Lac天体S5 0716+714,文献中已经报道了喷流分量运动的相互冲突的视速度。该物体是一个日内变量源,适合于研究不同时间尺度上运动学特性和通量密度变化之间可能的相关性。我们(重新)分析50 VLBI观测与VLBA在5个不同的频率(5至43 GHz)之间1992.73和2006.32。我们详细分析了射流分量运动,不仅要考虑径向运动,还要考虑正交方向运动。我们研究了喷流脊线的演化,并寻找射电波段光变曲线与喷流分量运动学性质之间的相关性。我们提出了一个替代的运动学方案,在S5 0716+714射流组件的运动与明显的平稳性(关于他们的核心分离)随时间的推移。然而,射流分量看起来确实相对于它们的位置角和在垂直于射流的主轴的方向上显著地非径向地移动。我们讨论了长期的无线电通量密度变化和运动学之间的可能的相关性。我们的结论是,几何贡献的起源的长期变异可能是不可忽略的。据报道,大多数TeV耀变体都有亚光速运动。我们的分析也证实了S5 0716+714。这一结果增加了TeV耀变体的数量显示明显的亚光速运动到7。

英文摘要:

For the BL Lac object S5 0716+714 conflicting apparent velocities of jet component motion have been reported in the literature. This object is an intra-day variable source and suited to investigate a possible correlation between kinematic properties and flux-density variability on different timescales. We (re-)analyze 50 VLBI observations obtained with the VLBA at 5 different frequencies (5 to 43 GHz) between 1992.73 and 2006.32. We analyze the jet component motion in detail taking care not only to account for motion in the radial but also in the orthogonal direction. We study the evolution of the jet ridge line and search for correlations between radio band light curves and the kinematic properties of the jet components. We present an alternative kinematic scenario for jet component motion in S5 0716+714 with apparent stationarity of jet components (with regard to their core separation) with time. Jet components, however, do seem to move significantly non-radially with regard to their position angle and in a direction perpendicular to the major axis of the jet. We discuss a possible correlation between the long-term radio flux-density variability and the kinematics. We conclude that a geometric contribution to the origin of the long-term variability might not be negligible. Subluminal motion has been reported for most of the TeV blazars. Our analysis also confirms this for S5 0716+714. This result increases the number of TeV blazars showing apparent subluminal motion to 7.
