ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS B1524−136: A CSS quasar with two-sided radio jets
نویسنده
چکیده
We present MERLIN, global VLBI and VLBA observations of the high-luminosity, compact steepspectrum quasar B1524−136 at cm wavelengths. These observations reveal well-defined radio jets on both sides of the active nucleus, a situation which is almost unique amongst high-luminosity radio quasars. However, the radio jets on opposite sides are very dissimilar, and the overall radio structure appears highly distorted. We discuss possible implications of these observations.

Investigation of the possible third image and mass models of the gravitational lens PMN J 1632 – 0033
We present multi-frequency VLBA observations of PMN J1632–0033, one of the few gravitationally lensed quasars suspected of having a central “odd” image. The central component has a different spectral index than the two bright quasar images. Therefore, either the central component is not a third image, and is instead the active nucleus of the lens galaxy, or else it is a third image whose spectr...

We report the discovery of an extremely red object (ERO) in a medium-deep ISOCAM extragalactic survey. The object is also a radio source. Subsequent VLT NIR spectroscopy revealed a prominent Hα line giving a redshift of 1.5. We present the spectrum and ...
متن کاملHighest-resolution Radio Astronomy: the Quest for the Black Hole
Radio observations with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) provide the highest resolution in astronomy. Combining earth-bound with space-based telescopes and advancing the observations to mm-wavelengths increases the resolution even further. These methods enable us to probe directly the vicinities of the presumed central black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the powerful jets em...
متن کامل4 The two sided parsec scale structure of the Low Luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus in NGC 4278
We present new Very Long Baseline Interferometry observations of the LINER galaxy NGC 4278. The observations were taken with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) and a single antenna of the Very Large Array (VLA) at 5 GHz and 8.4 GHz and have a linear resolution of . 0.1 pc. Our radio data reveal a two sided structure, with symmetric S-shaped jets emerging from a flat spectrum core. We fit the j...
