高红移AGN中秒差距尺度上的抛物喷流形状

Parabolic jet shape on parsec scales in high redshift AGN

摘要:

活动星系中相对论喷流的几何结构为等离子体流的发射、准直和加速机制提供了重要信息。我们提出了一种新的方法来探测边界形状的喷流秒差距尺度-在其无线电核心附近。外流的表观速度来自于在同一射流区域测量的可变性时间延迟和核心移位,提供洛伦兹因子$Γ$的自洽估计。我们将沿射流$z$的距离与其横向尺寸联系在一起,假设流动加速度恒定。我们的结果表明,射流具有抛物线形状,并在核心区域维持有效的加速度,与洛伦兹因子依赖性$Γ\propto z^{0.5}$一致。所提出的方法可以应用于在小视角下观察到的源以及由于有限的角分辨率而无法直接测量的远距离源。

英文摘要:

Geometry of relativistic jets in active galaxies provides important information about mechanisms of launching, collimation and acceleration of plasma flow. We propose a new method to probe a boundary shape of a jet on parsec scales -- in the vicinity of its radio core. Apparent speed of an outflow is derived from variability time delays and core shifts measured at the same jet region, providing a self-consistent estimate of the Lorentz factor $Γ$. We link together the distance along the jet $z$ with its transverse size assuming a constant flow acceleration. Our results indicate that jets have parabolic shape and sustain an effective acceleration in the core region, consistent with the Lorentz factor dependency $Γ\propto z^{0.5}$. The proposed method can be applied to the sources observed at small viewing angles as well as to the distant sources when direct measurements are impossible due to a limited angular resolution.
