摘要:

我们调查的位置的射电喷流基地(“无线电核心”)的耀变体的无线电图像,和他们的平稳性,通过密集的甚长基线干涉(VLBI)观测。2011年9月中旬,在一次大的X射线耀斑爆发后,利用VLBI射电天体测量探测仪在22 GHz对耀变体Markarian 421进行了12历元的天体测量。这是第一次,我们发现,无线电核心是不固定的,而是改变其位置向下游0.5质量。该角度标度对应于在Markarian~421的距离处的$10^5$史瓦西半径(Rs)的标度的去投影长度。这种射电核漂移可能是与大X射线耀斑现象有关的一种新的表现形式。

英文摘要:

We investigate the location of the radio jet bases ("radio cores") of blazars in radio images, and their stationarity by means of dense very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations. In order to measure the position of a radio core, we conducted 12 epoch astrometric observation of the blazar Markarian 421 with the VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry at 22 GHz immediately after a large X-ray flare, which occurred in the middle of 2011 September. For the first time, we find that the radio core is not stationary but rather changes its location toward 0.5 mas downstream. This angular scale corresponds to the de-projected length of a scale of $10^5$ Schwarzschild radii (Rs) at the distance of Markarian~421. This radio-core wandering may be a new type of manifestation associated with the phenomena of large X-ray flares.
