摘要:

宽线射电星系3C 111在2007年出现了一次大的通量密度爆发。在这里,我们提出的喷气机的成像和初步的运动学结果的基础上,三毫米VLBI观测(86 GHz)使用全球毫米VLBI阵列(GMVA)覆盖一年后的射电耀斑。GMVA数据使我们能够以最高(亚秒差距)分辨率研究这种前所未有的图像保真度。在这些尺度上,爆发被分解成一系列复杂的等离子体成分,形成一个有趣的弯曲结构。在距喷流底部1 mas范围内,抛射的位置角和分量的视速度变化不大,约为3.7c,明显低于cm-VLBI在1 mas以上尺度上观测到的最大速度。

英文摘要:

The broad-line radio galaxy 3C 111 exhibited a major flux density outburst in 2007. Here, we present imaging and preliminary kinematic results of the jet, based on three millimetre-VLBI observations (86 GHz) using the Global Millimeter VLBI Array (GMVA) covering one year just after the radio flare. The GMVA data allow us to study this outburst with unprecedented image fidelity at highest (sub-parsec) resolution. On these scales, the outburst is resolved into a complex series of plasma components forming an intriguing bent structure. Within 1 mas from the jet base, ejections vary in position angle and components move with an apparent velocity of ~3.7c, significantly slower than the maximum velocity observed with cm-VLBI on scales beyond 1 mas.
