摘要:

我们报告的第一个VLBI图像的M81核(M81*)在波长为3.4毫米,获得与源频率相位参考(SFPR)技术。由于SFPR校准,相干积分时间最终可以增加超过一个数量级,这使得在45 mJy beam-1的水平上检测条纹的动态范围高于130:1。这为未来毫米/亚毫米VLBI观测弱源铺平了道路。根据对M81* 粒子的分析,估计在3.4 mm处的核心尺寸为约50 μ s。这符合先前在较低频率下报道的与波长λ ^[0.88]的幂律关系。这些结果将核心尺寸(3.4 mm)限制在M81* 的最小约80史瓦西半径。

英文摘要:

We report on the first VLBI image of the M81 nucleus (M81*) at a wavelength of 3.4 mm, obtained with the source-frequency phase-referencing (SFPR) technique. Thanks to the SFPR calibration, the coherent integration time could be eventually increased by more than an order of magnitude, which enabled the detection of fringes at the level of 45 mJy beam-1 with a dynamic range higher than 130:1. This paves the way toward future mm/sub-mm VLBI observations of weaker sources. From the analysis of the M81* visibilities, a core size of ~50 uas at 3.4 mm was estimated. This follows the power-law relationship with wavelength lambda^0.88, reported previously at lower frequencies. These results constrain the core size (at 3.4 mm) to a minimum of ~80 Schwarzschild radii of M81*.
