摘要:

光谱变异性提供了一种新的技术来识别闪烁的小尺度结构,以及确定峰谱(PS)射电源的吸收机制。在本文中,我们提出了甚长基线干涉(VLBI)成像使用长基线阵列(LBA)的两个PS源,MRC 0225 -065和PMNJ 0322 -4820,确定为光谱可变的观察与默奇森宽场阵列(MWA)。我们比较预期的毫弧秒结构的基础上检测到的光谱变化与直接LBA成像。我们发现MRC 0225 -065被分解为三个分量,一个明亮的核心和两个较暗的叶瓣,大约430 pc的投影分离。对磁场、宿主星系特性和光谱分析的综合分析表明,MRC 0225 -065是一个年轻的射电源,在过去10^2- 10^3年间有过喷流活动。我们发现PMNJ 0322 -4820在毫角秒尺度上是不可分辨的。我们得出结论,PMNJ 0322 -4820是一个耀变体,在2014年用MWA检测到了耀斑活动。我们使用光谱变化来预测形态,并发现这些预测与我们的LBA图像所揭示的结构一致。

英文摘要:

Spectral variability offers a new technique to identify small scale structures from scintillation, as well as determining the absorption mechanism for peaked-spectrum (PS) radio sources. In this paper, we present very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) imaging using the Long Baseline Array (LBA) of two PS sources, MRC0225-065 and PMNJ0322-4820, identified as spectrally variable from observations with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). We compare expected milliarcsecond structures based on the detected spectral variability with direct LBA imaging. We find MRC0225-065 is resolved into three components, a bright core and two fainter lobes, roughly 430pc projected separation. A comprehensive analysis of the magnetic field, host galaxy properties, and spectral analysis implies that MRC0225-065 is a young radio source with recent jet activity over the last 10^2-10^3years. We find PMNJ0322-4820 is unresolved on milliarcsecond scales. We conclude PMNJ0322-4820 is a blazar with flaring activity detected in 2014 with the MWA. We use spectral variability to predict morphology and find these predictions consistent with the structures revealed by our LBA images.
