摘要:

活动星系核喷流的物理性质以及MeV、GeV和TeV γ射线的产生位置和机制是当今天体物理学中最有趣的问题之一。M87是一个特殊的实验室,可以详细研究喷流的性质,因为它离得很近,有一个巨大的黑洞,并且在无线电波波长及以上有明显的辐射。我们于2009年11月开始了一项使用5 GHz e-EVN的监测计划。我们在这里提出这些多历元的观测结果,并讨论在此期间发生的两个事件的活动在能量E>100 GeV。其中一个观测结果是在第一次高能耀斑的同一天获得的。我们将VLBI和VLA获得的文献数据添加到我们的结果中。HST-1的自行速度在~ 2005.5的时期出现了明显的变化。在1998年至2005.5年的时间范围内,视速度为亚光速,2005.5年后为超光速(~ 2.7 c)。

英文摘要:

One of the most intriguing open questions of today's astrophysics is the jet physical properties and the location and the mechanisms for the production of MeV, GeV, and TeV gamma-rays in AGN jets. M87 is a privileged laboratory for a detailed study of the properties of jets, owing to its proximity, its massive black hole, and its conspicuous emission at radio wavelengths and above. We started on November 2009 a monitoring program with the e-EVN at 5 GHz. We present here results of these multi-epoch observations and discuss the two episodes of activity at energy E>100 GeV that occured in this period. One of these observations was obtained at the same day of the first high energy flare. We added to our results literature data obtained with the VLBI and VLA. A clear change in the proper motion velocity of HST-1 is present at the epoch ~ 2005.5. In the time range 1998 -- 2005.5 the apparent velocity is subluminal, and superluminal (~ 2.7c) after 2005.5.
