Dynamics and High Energy Emission of the Flaring HST - 1 Knot in the M 87 Jet
Stimulated by recent observations of a giant radio-to-X-ray synchrotron flare from HST-1, the innermost knot of the M 87 jet, as well as by a detection of a very high energy γ-ray emission from M 87, we investigated the dynamics and multiwavelength emission of the HST-1 region. We study thermal pressure of the hot interstellar medium in M 87 and argue for a presence of a gaseous condensation in...

متن کاملProbing the inner jet of M87; from the jet base to HST-1
The giant radio galaxy M87 accompanies one of the nearest Active-Galactic-Nuclei jets showing the intense radiation through radio to TeV gamma-ray. Its proximity and the large mass of the central black hole provide an excellent advantage to probe the sites of jet formation and gamma-ray production. Here we review some of our recent studies for the inner jet of M87 based on the multi-frequency a...
متن کاملVLBI , MERLIN and HST observations of the giant radio galaxy 3 C 236
We present VLBI and MERLIN data at 1.66 and 4.99 GHz on the central component coincident with the nucleus of the giant radio galaxy, 3C236. The nuclear radio structure is composed of two complexes of emission which are resolved on scales from 1 milli-arcsec (mas) to 1 arcsec. Oscillations with an amplitude of ∼ 5 • can be seen in the compact radio structure. Spectral index distributions are plo...
متن کاملThe matter content of the jet in M 87 : evidence for anelectron - positron
Recent observations have allowed the geometry and kinematics of the M87 jet to be tightly constrained. We combine these constraints with historical Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) results and the theory of synchrotron self-absorbed radio cores in order to investigate the physical properties of the jet. Our results strongly suggest the jet to be dominated by an electron-positron (pair) ...
