چکیده

We analyze the parsec-scale jet kinematics from 2007 June to 2018 December of a sample $\gamma$-ray bright blazars monitored roughly monthly with Very Long Baseline Array at 43 GHz under VLBA-BU-BLAZAR program. implement novel piece-wise linear fitting method derive 521 distinct emission knots total 3705 intensity images in 22 quasars, 13 BL Lacertae objects, and 3 radio galaxies. Apparent speeds these components range $0.01c$ $78c$, 18.6\% (other than "core") are quasi-stationary. One-fifth moving exhibit non-ballistic motion, acceleration along within 5 pc core (projected) deceleration farther out. These accelerations occur mainly locations coincident quasi-stationary features. calculate physical parameters 273 statistically significant including their Doppler factors, Lorentz viewing angles. determine typical values for each average subclass active galactic nuclei. investigate variability position angle over ten years monitoring. The fluctuations galaxies tend be parallel jet, while no directional preference is seen quasars objects. find connection between states properties, brighter cores typically reaching higher maxima during flares.

Rapid Variability of Gamma-ray Emission from Sites near the 43 GHz Cores of Blazar Jets

Comprehensive VLBI and multi-waveband monitoring indicate that a single superluminal knot can cause a number of γ-ray flares at different locations. However, the often very rapid variability timescale is a challenge to theoretical models when a given flare (perhaps the majority of those observed) is inferred from observations to lie near the 43 GHz core, parsecs from the central engine. We pres...

The VLBA-BU-BLAZAR Multi-Wavelength Monitoring Program

We describe a multiwavelength program of monitoring of a sample of bright γ-ray blazars, which the Boston University (BU) group has being carrying out since June 2007. The program includes monthly monitoring with the Very Long Baseline Array at 43 GHz, optical photometric and polarimetric observations, construction and analysis of UV and X-ray light curves obtained with the Rossi X-ray Timing E...

MOJAVE : Monitoring of Jets in AGN with VLBA Experiments

The MOJAVE blazar sample consists of the 133 brightest, most compact radio-loud AGN in the northern sky, and is selected on the basis of VLBA 2 cm correlated flux density exceeding 1.5 Jy (2 Jy for declinations south of 0 •) at any epoch between 1994 and 2003. Since 1994 we have been gathering VLBA data on the sample to measure superluminal jet speeds and to better understand the parsec−scale k...

Multifrequency VLBA Monitoring of 3 C 273 during the INTEGRAL Campaign in 2003 I . Kinematics of the Parsec Scale Jet from 43 GHz Data

In this first of a series of papers describing polarimetric multifrequency Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) monitoring of 3C 273 during a simultaneous campaign with the INTEGRAL γ-ray satellite in 2003, we present 5 Stokes I images and source models at 7 mm. We show that a part of the inner jet (1–2 milliarcseconds from the core) is resolved in a direction transverse to the flow, and we analyse ...
