Multi - frequency VLBA observations of compact sources from the Peacock & Wall catalogue
نویسنده
چکیده
VLBA observations are presented for 6 compact radio sources selected from the Peacock & Wall catalogue. From the new morphological and spectral information 2 objects that in the Peacock and Wall catalogue are flat spectrum (α ≤ 0.5) sources, appear to be double sided objects with linear sizes of the order of one kpc. Three are core-jet sources and the last one is still an “enigmatic” object. These data complete the sample of small double compact sources in the Peacock & Wall catalogue and the complete list is given.

The B 3 – VLA CSS sample . II : VLBA images at 18 cm
VLBA observations at 18 cm are presented for 28 Compact Steep–spectrum radio Sources (CSSs) from the B3–VLA CSS sample. These sources were unresolved in previous VLA observations at high frequencies or their brightness distribution was dominated by an unresolved steep spectrum component. More than half of them also showed a low frequency turnover in their radio spectrum. The VLBA images display...
متن کاملThe Fourth Vlba Calibrator Survey — Vcs4
This paper presents the fourth extension to the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) Calibrator Survey, containing 258 new sources not previously observed with very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). This survey, based on three 24 hour VLBA observing sessions, fills remaining areas on the sky above declination −40 • where the calibrator density is less than one source within a 4 • radius disk at a...
متن کاملSpectral distributions in compact radio sources I. Imaging with VLBI data
We discuss a technique for mapping the synchrotron turnover frequency distribution using nearly simultaneous, multi–frequency VLBI observations. The limitations of the technique arising from limited spatial sampling and frequency coverage are investigated. The errors caused by uneven spatial sampling of typical multi– frequency VLBA datasets are estimated through numerical simulations, and are ...
متن کاملSub-milliarcsecond imaging of quasars and active galactic nuclei. IV. Fine-scale structure
We have examined the compact structure in 250 flat-spectrum extragalactic radio sources using interferometric fringe visibilities obtained with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) at 15 GHz. With projected baselines out to 440Mk, we are able to investigate source structure on typical angular scales as small as 0.05 mas. This scale is similar to the resolution of the VLBI Space Observatory Progr...
متن کاملMulti - epoch VLBA observations of 3 C 66 A
We present the results of six-epoch Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of 3C 66A. The high-resolution Very Long Baseline Interferometer (VLBI) maps obtained at multi-frequency (2.3, 8.4, and 22.2 GHz) simultaneously enabled us to identify the brightest compact component with the core. We find that the spectrum of the core can be reasonably fitted by the synchrotron self-absorption mod...
