Possible links between BL Lacertae objects and quasars from very long baseline interferometry radio data.
Systematic differences in the very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) radio polarization structure and average VLBI component speeds of BL Lacertae objects and quasars support the view that the observational distinction between these classes, based in large part on the strength of their optical line emission, is meaningful; in other words, this distinction reflects significant differences in t...
متن کاملOn the relationship between BL Lacertae objects and radio galaxies
We present deep radio images at 1.4 GHz of a large and complete sample of BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs) selected from the Deep X-ray Radio Blazar Survey (DXRBS). We have observed 24 northern (δ ∼ −30 ◦) sources with the Very Large Array (VLA) in both its A and C configurations and 15 southern sources with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) in its largest configuration. We find that in...
متن کاملOn the Bl Lacertae Objects/radio Quasars and the Fri/ii Dichotomy
In the frame of unification schemes for radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs), FR I radio galaxies are believed to be BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects with the relativistic jet misaligned to our line of sight, and FR II radio galaxies correspond to misaligned radio quasars. The Ledlow-Owen dividing line for FR I/FR II dichotomy in the optical absolute magnitude of host galaxy–radio luminosity (M...
متن کاملAre the X-ray spectra of flat-spectrum radio quasars and BL Lacertae objects different?
We study the X-ray spectra of 114 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) using the hardness ratios as given in the WGA catalogue of ROSAT sources. This sample includes all WGA FSRQ with high-quality data and comprises about 20 per cent of presently known such objects, which makes this the largest FSRQ sample ever studied in the X-ray band. We find that FSRQ have a distribution of energy spectral in...
متن کاملUsing Small Radio Telescopes for Very Long Baseline Interferometry
Throughout the summer development has continued on the next generation of the Small Radio Telescope for use as a Very Long Baseline Interferometry type interferometer. This paper discusses the difficulties with setting up this new interferometer and presents some results obtained using this small radio telescope interferometer. We used 3 small radio telescopes to form one baseline of about 5 me...
