摘要:

本文讨论了甚长基线干涉测量(VLBI)观测到的活动星系核核心区的不透明度,并提出了一种由单碟观测到的耀斑的频变时间滞后推算VLBI核心频变位移的新方法。应用该方法的核心移动的类星体3C 345显示了一个非常好的协议之间的核心移动直接测量VLBI观测和来自耀斑的总通量密度使用所提出的方法。耀斑的频率相关的时间滞后可以用来推导喷流的物理参数,如从VLBI核心到喷流底部的距离和核心区域的磁场。我们对3C 345的估计表明,核心磁场约为0.1 G,磁场为1 pc约为0.4 G。

英文摘要:

We discuss the opacity in the core regions of active galactic nuclei observed with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), and describe a new method for deriving the frequency-dependent shifts of the VLBI core from the frequency-dependent time lags of flares observed with single-dish observations. Application of the method to the core shifts of the quasar 3C 345 shows a very good agreement between the core shifts directly measured from VLBI observations and derived from flares in the total flux density using the proposed method. The frequency-dependent time lags of flares can be used to derive physical parameters of the jets, such as distance from the VLBI core to the base of the jet and the magnetic fields in the core region. Our estimates for 3C 345 indicate core magnetic fields ~0.1 G and magnetic field at 1 pc ~0.4 G.
