High Rotation Measure in the Steep Spectrum Quasar 3c 147
We present VLBA polarimetric observations of the steep-spectrum quasar 3C 147 (0538+498) made at four frequencies in the available 5-GHz band, from which we derived milliarcsecond-resolution images of the total intensity, polarization, and rotation measure distributions. The jet extending to the southwest is followed out to a distance of about 200 mas from the core. The jet shows several gentle...
متن کاملThe Global Jet Structure of the Archetypical Quasar 3C 273
A key question in the formation of the relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is the collimation process of their energetic plasma flow launched from the central supermassive black hole (SMBH). Recent observations of nearby low-luminosity radio galaxies exhibit a clear picture of parabolic collimation inside the Bondi accretion radius. On the other hand, little is known of the obser...
متن کاملA Deep XMM-Newton Observation of the Quasar 3C 287
We report on an XMM-Newton observation of the z = 1.055 quasar and Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) source 3C 287. Our 62.3 ks observation provides an exceptional X-ray view of a prominent member of this important subclass of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The X-ray spectra of 3C 287 are consistent with a simple absorbed power law with a spectral index ofΓ = 1.72± 0.02. Our fits imply a bolometr...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Spectra of Quasar Aals: 3c 191
We discuss new high-resolution (6.7 km/s) spectra of the associated absorption lines (AALs) in the radio-loud quasar 3C 191. The measured AALs have ionizations ranging from Mg I to N V, and multicomponent profiles that are blueshifted by ∼400 to ∼1400 km/s relative to the quasar’s broad emission lines. Excited-state absorption lines of Si II and C II imply volume densities of ∼300 cm and a nomi...
متن کاملChange in speed and direction of the jet near the core in the quasar 3C 279
Intensive monitoring of the innermost jet in the quasar 3C 279 at 43 GHz from 1998 March to 2001 April with the Very Long Baseline Array, in combination with previous observations, reveal (1) an increase in apparent speed from 5c to 17c and (2) a change in projected direction of the jet by 20 . These effects could result from a small increase in the intrinsic viewing angle of the jet nozzle fro...
