The magnetic field along the jets of NGC 4258 ⋆ as deduced from high frequency radio observations
We present 2. ′′4 resolution, high sensitivity radio continuum observations of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 4258 in total intensity and linear polarization obtained with the Very Large Array at λ3.6 cm (8.44 GHz). The radio emission along the northern jet and the center of the galaxy is polarized and allows investigation of the magnetic field. Assuming energy-equipartition between the magnetic ...
متن کاملSINFONI observations of Nearby AGN and Design of an interferometric integral-field spectrograph for the LBT
The high energy output of an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) is due to the accretion of material onto a supermassive black hole (SMBH) and implies the presence of a gas reservoir close to the AGN. Furthermore, according to the Unified Model of AGN, the gas also plays an important role in the aspect-angle obscuration of the nucleus produced by a molecular/dusty torus. In the case of Type 2 AGN the...
متن کاملNear Infrared Observations of GQ Lup b Using the Gemini Integral Field Spectrograph NIFS
We present new JHK spectroscopy (R ∼ 5000) of GQ Lup b, acquired with the near-infrared integral field spectrograph NIFS and the adaptive optics system ALTAIR at the Gemini North telescope. Angular differential imaging was used in the J and H bands to suppress the speckle noise from GQ Lup A; we show that this approach can provide improvements in signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) by a factor of 2 − 6...
متن کاملThe Warped Disc of NGC 4258
We consider the properties of the warped accretion disc in NGC 4258 which is delineated by maser emission. We use our analytical models to consider whether the disc could be warped by Lense-Thirring precession. We show that such models fit the shape of the disc well and we determine the goodness of fit for various combinations of the warp radius and the disc and black hole configurations. Thoug...
متن کاملAccelerations of Water Masers in NGC 4258
The water masers in NGC4258 delineate the structure and dynamics of a sub-parsec-diameter accretion disk around a supermassive black hole. VLBA observations provide precise information about the positions in the plane of the sky and the three-dimensional velocity vectors for the maser emission, but the positions along the line of sight must be inferred from models. Previous measurements placed ...
