Xiaopeng Cheng, Tao An, Ailing Wang, Sumit Jaiswal

摘要:

GHz峰值谱源的观测研究有助于理解宿主星系的辐射特性和星际环境。我们提出的结果,从多频高分辨率VLBI观测的9个GPS源在8,15,和43 GHz的样本。所有的源都显示出核心喷流结构。四个源显示相对论性喷流,多普勒助推因子范围从2.0到5.0,喷流视角在10°到30°之间。其他5个源的核心亮温均低于均分亮温极限,其喷流视角范围为13.6° ~ 71.9°,系统地大于该样品中的相对论喷流。源显示出不同的可变性特性,可变性水平从0.11到0.56不等。在无线电频谱中测得的周转频率范围从6.2和31.8 GHz。我们估计均分磁场强度为9和48毫G之间。这些结果强烈支持的概念,这些GPS源是年轻的无线电源在其演变的早期阶段。

英文摘要:

Observational studies of GHz peaked spectrum (GPS) sources contribute to the understanding of the radiative properties and interstellar environment of host galaxies. We present the results from the multi-frequency high-resolution VLBI observations of a sample of nine GPS sources at 8, 15, and 43 GHz. All sources show a core-jet structure. Four sources show relativistic jets with Doppler boosting factors ranging from 2.0 to 5.0 and a jet viewing angle between 10° and 30°. The core brightness temperatures of the other five sources are below the equipartition brightness temperature limit with their jet viewing angles in the range of 13.6° degrees to 71.9°, which are systematically larger than those of relativistic jets in this sample. The sources show diverse variability properties, with variability levels ranging from 0.11 to 0.56. The measured turnover frequency in the radio spectrum ranges from 6.2 and 31.8 GHz. We estimate the equipartition magnetic field strength to be between 9 and 48 mG. These results strongly support the notion that these GPS sources are young radio sources in the very early stage of their evolution.
