Probing the polarization characteristics of SS433 on mas scales

چکیده
We present a status report of dedicated circular polarization (CP) global VLBI observations of SS433. The total intensity image of the source is presented. We do not detect linear polarization in the core region of the source. We estimate the errors in D-terms for the EVN, and its effect on the final right-left circular polarization gain calibration. The data from this and earlier observations are analyzed with the ”zero-V” self-calibration technique, in order to obtain indications for detectable CP in different regions of the source. Our data show no evidence for strong gyro-synchrotron (GS) emission on the size scale probed by our beam.

Ss433: Outflows Here and There
We summarize the results of VLBA and global VLBI observations of SS433 between 1995 and 2000. With these observations we resolve the inner jet of the source and identify an absorption region (∼ 25 AU), the " central radio gap ". The radio gap is caused by free-free absorption of the jet radio emission by a flattened outflow from the binary system. Radio emission is detected on 100 AU scales per...
متن کاملDesign, Fabrication and Measurement of Two-Layered Quadruple-Band Microwave Metamaterial Absorber
The design, simulation, fabrication, and measurement of two structures of metamaterial absorbers (MA) is investigated at microwave frequency in this paper. By stacking of one layer structure on the top of each other, a two-layered structure is generated. The unit cell at each layer consisting of two sets of various circular and square patches are designed so that the structure exhibit quad band...
متن کاملPossible Photometric Evidence of Ejection of Bullet Like Features in the Relativistic Jet source SS 433
SS433 is well-known for its precessing twin jets having optical bullets inferred through spectroscopic observation ofHα lines. Recently, Chakrabarti et al. (2002) described processes which may be operating in accretion disk of SS433 to produce these bullets. In a recent multi-wavelength campaign, we find sharp rise in intensity in time-scales of few minutes in X-rays, IR and radio waves through...
متن کاملThe nature of jets: evidence from circular polarization observations
We review recent observations of circularly polarized radiation from AGN made with the VLBA and with the ATCA. We also discuss briefly the detections of the Galactic sources Sag A* and SS433. The origin of the circular polarization is still an open question in most cases, and we discuss four possible mechanisms. Detectable circular polarization is a common property of quasars, but not of radio ...
متن کاملVLBI Polarization Observations of Intraday Variability
Global 6 cm VLBI polarization observations of the intraday variable sources 0716+714, 0917+624, and 0954+658 are analyzed. Integrated VLA measurements during the VLBI observations suggest that although there were no substantial total intensity variations, the polarization for all three sources varied signiicantly during the 24-hour VLBI experiment. The VLBI data were divided into 2{3 hour segme...
