Is 3 C 287 a precessing radio source ?

چکیده
We present a 5 GHz VLBI image of the compact steep spectrum (CSS) quasar 3C287. The source has been one of the candidate precessing CSS sources. Both static features and large structural changes are observed since the earliest VLBI experiments. The overall picture does not seem to support a precessing jet scenario.

GCRT J1745-3009: A precessing radio pulsar?
A unique transient bursting radio source, GCRT J1745-3009, has been discovered (Hyman et al. 2005a) near the direction of the Galactic center. It is still an open question to explain this phenomenon, although some efforts to understand its nature have been made. This paper shows that most of the observed features can be reproduced by our proposed precessing pulsar model. It is found that the pr...

We present the results of a multi-epoch VLBA study of the powerful radio source 4C +12.50 (PKS 1345+125) at a wavelength of 2 cm. This compact radio source is associated with a hidden quasar whose host galaxy shows signs of a recent merger. It has been classified as a compact symmetric source (CSO) due to its small overall size (∼ 220 pc) and twin-jet morphology, although it also has faint exte...
متن کاملGcrt J1745-3009: a Freely Precessing Pulsar?
A bursting radio source, GCRT J1745-3009, had been discovered by Hyman et al. (2005) near the direction of the Galaxy center. It bursts with a period of ∼ 77 min and a duration of ∼ 10 min. The source is very luminous during its burst state, which implies that it is not an incoherent emitter. It is still open to explain this phenomenon although a couple of scenarios had been proposed by Hyman e...
متن کاملJ16021+3326: New Multi-frequency Observations of a Complex Source
We present multi-frequency Very Long Baseline Array observations of J16021+3326. These observations, along with variability data obtained from the Owens Valley Radio Observatory candidate gamma-ray blazar monitoring program, clearly indicate that this source is a blazar. The peculiar characteristic of this blazar, which daunted previous classification attempts, is that we appear to be observing...
متن کاملA Pulsed, Precessing Jet in Cepheus A
We present near-infrared H2, radio CO, and thermal infrared observations of the nearby massive star-forming region Cepheus A (Cep A). From H2 bow shocks arranged along four distinct jet axes, we infer that the massive protostellar source HW2 drives a pulsed, precessing jet that has changed its orientation by about 45 in roughly 104 years. The current HW2 radio jet represents the most recent eve...
