VLBA polarimetric observations of 3C 286 at 5 GHz
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polarimetric observations at 5 GHz using the VLBA are reported of the compact steep spectrum source 3C 286. There are two flat spectrum knots but both are too highly polarized to be a typical core component and both appear to be resolved in VLBA measurements. The morphology and polarization structure of this source is also quite distinct from typical core–jet sources. It is suggested that the core in this source is beamed away from us by relativistic effects and we see the portion of the jet that is beamed in our direction.

Monthly 43 Ghz Vlba Polarimetric Monitoring of 3c 120 over 16 Epochs: Evidence for Trailing Shocks in a Relativistic Jet
We present a 16-month sequence of monthly polarimetric 43 GHz VLBA images of the radio galaxy 3C 120. The images probe the inner regions of the radio jet of this relatively nearby superluminal radio galaxy at a linear resolution of 0.07 h 65 pc (Ho = 65 h65 km s −1 Mpc). We follow the motion of a number of features with apparent velocities between 4.01±0.08 and 5.82±0.13 h 65 c. A new superlumi...
متن کاملMultifrequency VLBA Monitoring of 3 C 273 during the INTEGRAL Campaign in 2003 I . Kinematics of the Parsec Scale Jet from 43 GHz Data
In this first of a series of papers describing polarimetric multifrequency Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) monitoring of 3C 273 during a simultaneous campaign with the INTEGRAL γ-ray satellite in 2003, we present 5 Stokes I images and source models at 7 mm. We show that a part of the inner jet (1–2 milliarcseconds from the core) is resolved in a direction transverse to the flow, and we analyse ...
متن کاملHigh 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 کاملQuasi - Periodic Changes in the Parsec - Scale Jet of 3 C 345
We have observed the QSO 3C 345 with VSOP at 1.6 GHz and 5 GHz and with the VLBA at 22 GHz and 43 GHz, with 24 epochs in total, from 1997.40 to 1999.69. This study, combined with previous observations, reveals periodic changes in the parsec-scale jet. This quasi-periodicity can be found in the initial position angles, the trajectories and the flux density evolution of the jet components, with a...
متن کاملGHz VLBI OBSERVATIONS OF 3 C 120
We present the first 86 GHz VLBI observations of the radio galaxy 3C 120, together with contemporaneous 43 and 22 GHz polarimetric VLBA observations. The very high angular resolution obtained at 86 GHz provides an upper limit to the size of the core of 54 mas (0.025 h pc). This represents a direct determination of the base of the jet that is independent of variability arguments (which depend on...
