秒差距尺度AGN喷流的张开角和形状

Opening angles and shapes of parsec-scale AGN jets

Alexander B. Pushkarev, Matthew L. Lister, Yuri Y. Kovalev, Tuomas Savolainen

摘要:

我们使用了15 GHz VLBA观测366个源,在1995-2013年的时间间隔内至少有5个历元,从MOJAVE计划和/或其前身,2厘米VLBA调查。对于每个源,我们产生了相应的堆叠图像,平均所有可用的时期,以更好地重建流的截面。我们已经分析了横向于当地射流脊线的射流剖面,并推导出秒差距尺度外流的表观和内在张开角。费米大面积望远镜(LAT)在运行的前24个月内检测到的源显示出更宽的表观喷流张开角和更小的视角,这非常重要,支持了我们的早期发现。分析流出的横向形状,我们发现,大多数源在秒差距尺度上具有圆锥形射流几何形状,尽管也有一些源表现出主动射流准直。

英文摘要:

We used 15 GHz VLBA observations of 366 sources having at least 5 epochs within a time interval 1995-2013 from the MOJAVE program and/or its predecessor, the 2 cm VLBA Survey. For each source we produced a corresponding stacked image averaging all available epochs for a better reconstruction of the cross section of the flow. We have analyzed jet profiles transverse to the local jet ridge line and derived both apparent and intrinsic opening angles of the parsec-scale outflows. The sources detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) during the first 24 months of operation show wider apparent jet opening angle and smaller viewing angles on a very high level of significance supporting our early findings. Analyzing transverse shapes of the outflows we found that most sources have conical jet geometry at parsec scales, though there are also sources that exhibit active jet collimation.
