摘要:

我们对微弱且低光度($L_{\rm 1.4 GHz} < 10^{27}~\mbox{W Hz}^{-1}$)的千兆赫兹峰光谱(GPS)和紧凑陡谱(CSS)样本进行了甚长基线干涉测量观测。我们选择了8个源从深射电观测,具有无线电频谱特征的GPS或CSS源和角大小的$θ\lesssim 2$ arcsec,并检测其中的6个与澳大利亚长基线阵列。我们确定它们的线性尺寸,并使用同步加速器自吸收(SSA)和自由吸收(FFA)模型来模拟它们的射电光谱。我们得到的统计模型年龄,拟合的比例关系的基础上,和光谱年龄,基于无线电频谱,这是一般一致的假设,GPS和CSS源是年轻的和不断发展的。我们解决了一个CSS源的射电光度$10^{25}~\mbox{W Hz}^{-1}$的形态,并找到了两个热点跨越1.7千秒差距。我们发现,我们的源遵循周转线性大小关系,并且均质SSA和非均质FFA模型都可以解释具有可观察周转的光谱。除了一个之外,所有FFA模型都不需要频谱中断来解释无线电频谱,而除了一个之外,所有替代的SSA和幂律模型都需要频谱中断来解释无线电频谱。我们的结论是,我们的低光度样品是类似于明亮的样品在其光谱形状,营业额频率,线性尺寸和年龄,但不能测试的形态差异。

英文摘要:

We present Very Long Baseline Interferometry observations of a faint and low-luminosity ($L_{\rm 1.4 GHz} < 10^{27}~\mbox{W Hz}^{-1}$) Gigahertz-Peaked Spectrum (GPS) and Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) sample. We select eight sources from deep radio observations that have radio spectra characteristic of a GPS or CSS source and an angular size of $θ\lesssim 2$ arcsec, and detect six of them with the Australian Long Baseline Array. We determine their linear sizes, and model their radio spectra using Synchrotron Self Absorption (SSA) and Free Free Absorption (FFA) models. We derive statistical model ages, based on a fitted scaling relation, and spectral ages, based on the radio spectrum, which are generally consistent with the hypothesis that GPS and CSS sources are young and evolving. We resolve the morphology of one CSS source with a radio luminosity of $10^{25}~\mbox{W Hz}^{-1}$, and find what appear to be two hotspots spanning 1.7 kpc. We find that our sources follow the turnover-linear size relation, and that both homogenous SSA and an inhomogeneous FFA model can account for the spectra with observable turnovers. All but one of the FFA models do not require a spectral break to account for the radio spectrum, while all but one of the alternative SSA and power law models do require a spectral break to account for the radio spectrum. We conclude that our low-luminosity sample is similar to brighter samples in terms of their spectral shape, turnover frequencies, linear sizes, and ages, but cannot test for a difference in morphology.
