The flat-spectrum radio quasar 3C 345 has been showing gamma-ray activity since the mid-2000s along with activity across the electromagnetic spectrum. A gamma-ray burst in 2009 was successfully linked to relativistic outflow in 43 GHz VLBI observations and has since been analyzed also using single dish measurements. A multi-wavelength follow-up VLBI observation to the 2009 flare in conjunction with 43 GHz catalogue data from the VLBA-BU-BLAZAR and BEAM-ME programs are analyzed in this study in the context of the long-term evolution of the source. We aim to probe the innermost few milli-arcseconds of the ultracompact 3C 345 jet. In the process, we analyze the long-term kinematics of the inner jet and discuss the magnetic field morphology at different scales, as well as the origin of the gamma-ray emission. New observations at 23, 43, and 86 GHz took place on ten epochs between 2017 and 2019. We calibrate the 30 data sets using the rPicard pipeline, image them in Difmap and carry out polarization calibration using the GPCAL pipeline. We complement our VLBI data with ancillay VLBI maps at multiple frequencies, as well as 43 GHz observations carried out in the framework of the BEAM-ME and VLBA-BU-BLAZAR monitoring programs. We find multiple distinct component paths in the inner jet, forming a helical geometry. The helix is anchored at a stationary feature some 0.16 mas from the 43 GHz VLBI core and has a timescale of about 8 years. The characteristic bends in the jet morphology are caused by variations in the component ejection angle. We confirm the result of previous studies that the gamma-ray emission is produced (or caused) by relativistic outflow and violent interactions within the jet.
An Accretion Disc-Irradiation Hybrid Model for The Optical/UV Variability in Radio-Quiet Quasars
类星体的光/紫外光变与类星体的其它性质，如光度、黑洞质量和静止坐标系波长等都有密切的关系。然而，变异性的起源至今仍是一个谜。在这项工作中，我们升级的吸积盘模型（Li & Cao 2008），其中假设的变化是由全球质量吸积率的变化，通过限制盘的大小，以匹配的粘性时间尺度的吸积盘观测到的变化时间尺度，并通过包括照射/X射线后处理，使发射光谱变得陡峭。我们发现这个混合模型可以很好地再现观测到的蓝时亮的趋势，这是用来验证理论模型的一些工作最近。传统的变异幅度与静止帧波长的相关关系也可以用我们的模型很好地拟合。此外，一个弱的正相关性之间的变化幅度和黑洞质量的存在，定性与最近的观测。
