摘要:

目的:我们的目标是限制HST-1区域内的结构变化下游的无线电喷流的M87,在一般情况下,以及在连接到活动的情节在非常高的能量(VHE)。研究方法:我们分析和比较了2006年至2011年期间使用甚长基线阵列(VLBA)在1.7 GHz和欧洲VLBI网络(EVN)在5 GHz获得的26个VLBI观测结果。结果如下:HST-1在所有时期都被检测到;我们用两个或多个组件对其复杂的结构进行了模型拟合,其中两个最外面的组件显示出显着的自行,其超光速约为4c。在上游检测到的第三特征的运动更难以表征。在我们的观测期间,HST-1的整体位置角从-65度变化到-90度,而该结构向下游移动了80多个质量。我们的研究结果表明,在HST-1的上游边缘的结构变化可能与VHE事件。

英文摘要:

Aims: We aim to constrain the structural variations within the HST-1 region downstream of the radio jet of M87, in general as well as in connection to the episodes of activity at very high energy (VHE). Methods: We analyzed and compared 26 VLBI observations of the M87 jet, obtained between 2006 and 2011 with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) at 1.7 GHz and the European VLBI Network (EVN) at 5 GHz. Results: HST-1 is detected at all epochs; we model-fitted its complex structure with two or more components, the two outermost of which display a significant proper motion with a superluminal velocity around ~4c. The motion of a third feature that is detected upstream is more difficult to characterize. The overall position angle of HST-1 has changed during the time of our observations from -65deg to -90deg, while the structure has moved by over 80 mas downstream. Our results on the component evolution suggest that structural changes at the upstream edge of HST-1 can be related to the VHE events.
