Intra-day Variation of Sagittarius A at Short Millimeter Wavelengths
We have performed the monitoring observations of flux density of Sagittarius A at short millimeter wavelengths (100 and 140 GHz bands) on seven years in the period from 1996 to 2003 using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array (NMA). We found intra-day variation of Sgr A in March 2000 flare. The flux density at the peak of the flares increases 100–200% at 100 GHz and 200–400% at 140 GHz (∆S/S), respecti...
متن کاملIntranight polarization variability in radio-loud and radio-quiet AGN
Intranight polarization variability in AGN has not been studied extensively so far. Studying the variability in polarization makes it possibly to distinguish between different emission mechanisms. Thus it can help answering the question if intranight variability in radio-loud and radio-quiet AGN is of the same or of fundamentally different origin. In this paper we investigate intranight polariz...
متن کاملThe Solar Atmosphere at Radio Wavelengths
We briefly review the status of radio observations of the solar atmosphere with an emphasis on relevance to stellar observations. 1. Radio Emission Mechanisms Solar radio observations are sensitive to virtually every feature of the solar atmosphere, covering a temperature range from the temperature minimum (5000 K) up to the soft Xray-emitting plasma produced by solar flares (> 107 K) and the m...
متن کاملRadio-Variability in Radio-Quiet Quasars and Low-Luminosity AGN
We report on two surveys of radio-weak AGN to look for radio variability. We find significant variability with an RMS of 10-20% on a timescale of months in radio-quiet and radio-intermediate quasars. This exceeds the variability of radio cores in radio-loud quasars (excluding blazars), which vary only on a few percent level. The variability in radio-quiet quasars confirms that the radio emissio...
متن کاملHigh-Sensitivity AGN Polarimetry at Sub-Millimeter Wavelengths
The innermost regions of radio loud Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) jets are heavily affected by synchrotron self-absorption, due to the strong magnetic fields and high particle densities in these extreme zones. The only way to overcome this absorption is to observe at sub-millimeter wavelengths, although polarimetric observations at such frequencies have so far been limited by sensitivity and cal...
