摘要:

在TANAMI多波长和VLBI观测的框架下,我们研究了南半球射电星系秒差距尺度射电辐射的演化及其与$γ$射线性质的关系。在这第一篇论文中,我们专注于费米LAT检测源。利用多历元8.4 GHz VLBI图像对5个$γ$射线探测到的射电星系进行了运动学分析,得出了内禀喷流参数的极限。我们分析了费米-LAT数据,以研究可能的联系之间的$γ$射线属性和费米-LAT检测到的射电星系的pc尺度喷流,无论是在变异性和平均属性。我们讨论了个别源的结果,并得出初步结论,包括公布的VLBI结果的MOJAVE调查,共有15个来源的样本属性。我们发现,第一个$γ$射线检测的绘架A可能与一个新的VLBI组件通过无线电核心的通道。对于特殊的活动星系核PKS 0521-36,我们检测到亚光速秒差距尺度的喷流运动,我们确认存在的快速$γ$ -射线的变化源的时间尺度为6小时。我们强有力地证实存在显着的超光速运动,高达$β_{app}\sim$ 3,在TeV射电星系PKS 0625-35的喷流。最后,我们对致密对称天体PKS 1718-649的年龄设定了下限。我们对射电星系中pc尺度喷流与$γ$射线辐射的关系得出了一些初步的结论。我们发现,VLBI核心通量密度与$γ$射线通量相关,如在耀变体。另一方面,$γ$ -射线光度不显示任何依赖于核心亮度温度和核心优势,两个指标的多普勒增强,这表明$γ$ -射线辐射在射电星系是不是由方向依赖的影响。

英文摘要:

In the framework of the TANAMI multi-wavelength and VLBI monitoring, we study the evolution of the parsec-scale radio emission in radio galaxies in the southern hemisphere and their relationship to the $γ$-ray properties. In this first paper, we focus on Fermi-LAT-detected sources. We perform a kinematic analysis for five $γ$-ray detected radio galaxies using multi-epoch 8.4 GHz VLBI images, deriving limits on intrinsic jet parameters. We analyzed Fermi-LAT data in order to study possible connections between the $γ$-ray properties and the pc-scale jets of Fermi-LAT-detected radio galaxies, both in terms of variability and average properties. We discuss the individual source results and draw preliminary conclusions on sample properties including published VLBI results from the MOJAVE survey, with a total of fifteen sources. We find that the first $γ$-ray detection of Pictor A might be associated with the passage of a new VLBI component through the radio core. For the peculiar AGN PKS 0521-36, we detect subluminal parsec-scale jet motions, and we confirm the presence of fast $γ$-ray variability in the source down to timescales of 6 hours. We robustly confirm the presence of significant superluminal motion, up to $β_{app}\sim$3, in the jet of the TeV radio galaxy PKS 0625-35. Finally, we place a lower limit on the age of the Compact Symmetric Object (CSO) PKS 1718-649. We draw some preliminary conclusions on the relationship between pc-scale jets and $γ$-ray emission in radio galaxies. We find that the VLBI core flux density correlates with the $γ$-ray flux, as seen in blazars. On the other hand, the $γ$-ray luminosity does not show any dependence on the core brightness temperature and core dominance, two indicators of Doppler boosting, suggesting that $γ$-ray emission in radio galaxies is not driven by orientation-dependent effects.
