Broadband Radio Polarimetry and Faraday Rotation of 563 Extragalactic Radio Sources
We present a broadband spectropolarimetric survey of 563 discrete, mostly unresolved radio sources between 1.3 and 2.0 GHz using data taken with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. We have used rotation-measure synthesis to identify Faraday-complex polarized sources, those objects whose frequency-dependent polarization behavior indicates the presence of material possessing complicated magnet...
متن کاملYoung Extragalactic Radio Sources
Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) sources and Compact Symmetric Objects (CSO) are selected in very different ways, but have a significant overlap in properties. Ever since their discovery it has been speculated that they are young objects, but only recently, strong evidence has been provided indicating that GPS sources and CSOs are indeed the young counterparts of large, extended sources. They ar...
متن کاملScintillation-induced Variability in Radio Absorption Spectra against Extragalactic Sources
Abstract. Spectral features absorbed against some radio quasars exhibit ∼ 50mJy variations, with the lines varying both relative to the continuum and, when several lines are present, even relative to one another. We point out that such variability can be expected as a consequence of refractive scintillation caused by the interstellar medium of our Galaxy. Scintillation can cause independent var...
متن کاملDetermination of optical positions for 23 extragalactic radio sources
AB S TRACT The optical counterparts of 23 extragalactic radio sources, of which 13 are in the southern hemisphere, have been observed by three telescopes equipped with CCDs. By reference to the Astrographic/Tycho (ACT) Reference, Carlsberg Meridian (CMC), Positions and Proper Motions (PPM), Hipparcos (HIP) and Lick Northern Proper Motion (NPM) catalogues, the positions of the 23 objects have be...
متن کاملKinematics of Extragalactic Radio Sources A Model for Symmetric Jets
Symmetric extragalactic radio sources exhibit a baffling array of features that are very poorly understood. What is the origin of the remarkable symmetry between the two lobes? Why is the emission in the radio frequency (RF) range? Why are the jets so well collimated, implying long term memory of the core? Why do the core regions emit blue and ultraviolet light? What is the origin of transient ...
