Investigation of the Faraday Rotation Measure and Magnetic Field Structures of Several AGN Jets on Sub-Parsec to Parsec Scales
Abstract. Preliminary VLBA polarisation results on 6 “blazars” from 6.5cm to 7-mm are presented here. Observing at several different wavelengths, separated by short and long intervals, enabled reliable information about the magnetic (B) field structure to be obtained and for the effect of Faraday Rotation to be determined and corrected. For all sources the magnitude of the core Rotation Measure...
متن کاملJets from Sub-Parsec to Kiloparsec Scales: A Physical Connection
The Chandra discovery of bright X-ray emission from kpc-scale jets allows insight into the physical parameters of the jet flow at large scale. At the opposite extreme, extensive studies of the inner relativistic jets in Blazars with multiwavelength observations, yield comparable information on sub-parsec scales. In the framework of simple radiation models for the emission regions we compare the...
متن کاملQuasar Jets on Parsec and Kiloparsec Scales
In order to improve our understanding of the physics of relativistic jets in quasars, we examined correlations originally reported by Bridle et al . (1994). We expanded their original sample of 13 3CR lobe-dominated quasars imaged by the VLA to a statistically complete sample of 21. Using the NRAO AIPS image analysis software, we measured structural parameters and flux densities for various qua...
متن کاملAGN Jet Kinematics on Parsec-Scales: The MOJAVE Program
Very long baseline interferometry offers the best means of investigating the complex dynamics of relativistic jets powered by active galactic nuclei, via multi-epoch, sub-milliarcsecond, full-polarization imaging at radio wavelengths. Although targeted studies have yielded important information on the structures of individual AGN jets, the strong selection effects associated with relativistical...
متن کاملCompact jets as probes for sub-parsec scale regions in AGN
Compact relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei offer an effective tool for investigating the physics of nuclear regions in galaxies. The emission properties, dynamics, and evolution of jets in AGN are closely connected to the characteristics of the central supermassive black hole, accretion disk and broad-line region in active galaxies. Recent results from studies of the nuclear regions in...
