Galactic Superluminal Sources
A new class of X-ray sources was clearly established with the discovery of highly relativistic radio jets from the galactic sources GRS 1915+105 and GRO J1655-40. Both of these objects have given us a broader view of black holes and the formation of jets, yet they also show the complexity of the accretion environment near relativistic objects. The fast apparent motion of the jets, their luminos...
متن کاملHydrodynamical Models of Superluminal Sources
We present numerical simulations of the generation, evolution, and radio emission of superluminal components in relativistic jets. We perform the fluid dynamical calculations using a relativistic time-dependent code based on a high-resolution shock-capturing scheme, and then we calculate the radio emission by integrating the transfer equations for synchrotron radiation. These simulations show t...
متن کامل3-D Numerical Simulations of Rotating and Pulsating Relativistic Stars
A summary of new 3-D numerical simulations of relativistic stars is presented, which were done within the NASA Neutron Star Grand Challenge project. A numerical code that evolves both the hydrodynamics and the spacetime is used to study pulsating stars, emission of gravitational radiation, rotation and hydrodynamical shocks in neutron star formation. We obtain the first normal mode frequencies ...
متن کاملVariability and Velocity of Superluminal Sources
We investigate the relation between the Doppler factor determined from variations in total flux at 22 and 37 GHz, and the apparent transverse velocity determined from VLBA observations at 2 cm. The data are consistent with the relativistic beaming theory for compact radio sources, in that the distribution of β app /δ var , for 30 quasars, is roughly consistent with a Monte Carlo simulation. The...
متن کاملDirect Distance Measurements to Superluminal Radio Sources
We present a new technique for directly measuring the distances to superluminal radio sources. By comparing the observed proper motions of components in a parsec scale radio jet to their measured Doppler factors, we can deduce the distance to the radio source independent of the standard rungs in the cosmological distance ladder. This technique requires that the jet angle to the line of sight an...
