چکیده

We investigate the sample of 213 GPS sources selected from simultaneous multi-frequency 1– 22 GHz observations obtained with RATAN–600 radio telescope. We use publicly available data to characterize parsec-scale structure of the selected sources. Among them we found 121 core dominated sources, 76 Compact Symmetric Object (CSO) candidates (24 of them are highly probable), 16 sources have complex parsec-scale morphology. Most of GPS galaxies are characterized by CSO-type morphology and lower observed peak frequency (∼ 1.8 GHz). Most of GPS quasars are characterized by “core-jet”-type morphology and higher observed peak frequency (∼ 3.6 GHz). This is in good agreement with previous results. However, we found a number of sources for which the general relation CSO – galaxy, core-jet – quasar does not hold. These sources deserve detailed investigation. Assuming simple synchrotron model of a homogeneous cloud we estimate characteristic magnetic field in parsec-scale components of GPS sources to be B ∼ 10 mG.

The Caltech–Jodrell Bank VLBI Surveys

The Caltech–Jodrell Bank VLBI surveys of bright extragalactic radio sources north of declination 35 were carried out between 1990 and 1995 using the Mark-II system, achieving images with a resolution of about 1 mas at 5 GHz. The CJ1 survey (together with the older ‘PR’ survey) includes 200 objects with 5 GHz flux density greater than 0.7 Jy; the CJ2 survey includes 193 flat-spectrum sources wit...

The Bologna complete sample of nearby radio sources II – phase referenced observations of faint nuclear sources

Context. To study statistical properties of different classes of sources, it is necessary to observe a sample that is free of selection effects. Aims. To do this, we initiated a project to observe a complete sample of radio galaxies selected from the B2 Catalogue of Radio Sources and the Third Cambridge Revised Catalogue (3CR), with no selection constraint on the nuclear properties. We named th...

A sub-parsec scale radio counterjet has been detected in the nucleus of the closest radio galaxy, Centaurus A (NGC 5128), with VLBI imaging at 2.3 and 8.4 GHz. This is one of the first detections of a VLBI counterjet, and provides new constraints on the kinematics of the radio jets emerging from the nucleus of Centaurus A. A bright, compact core is seen at 8.4 GHz, along with a jet extending al...

EVN observations of candidate Compact Symmetric Objects

We present pc-scale images of ten Compact Symmetric Objects (CSO) candidates observed with the European VLBI network (EVN). Five radio sources have been observed at 1.6 GHz, and five more at 2.3/8.4 GHz, the latter subsample with the inclusion in the VLBI array of 3 antennae normally used for geodesy. These objects were selected from existing samples of GHz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) radio sources w...

VLBI observations of nineteen GHz-Peaked-Spectrum radio sources at 1.6 GHz

Abstract. Aims and Methods: We present the results of VLBI observations of nineteen GHz-Peaked-Spectrum (GPS) radio sources at 1.6 GHz. Of them, 15 sources are selected from the Parkes Half Jansky (PHJ) sample (Snellen 2002), 4 others are from our previous observation list. We aimed at imaging the structure of GPS sources, searching for Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) and studying the absorpti...
