VLBI Observations of a Complete Sample of Radio Galaxies VIII - Proper Motion in 3C338
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present new VLA, MERLIN and VLBI images for the radio galaxy 3C 338, and the results of the monitoring of its arcsecond core flux density. Present high sensitivity observations allow us to investigate the radio structure of this source and to confirm the presence of two symmetric parsec scale jets. Morphological changes between different epochs are evident and a proper motion with β ∼ 0.4h has been derived allowing us to give a lower limit constraint for the Hubble constant. While the steep spectrum large scale structure of 3C 338 could be a relic emission, the small scale structure looks young, similar to the high power MSOs found at high redshift.

Vlbi Observations of Low Power Radio Galaxies
The parsec scale properties of low power radio galaxies are reviewed here, using the available data on 12 FR I galaxies. The most frequent radio structure is an asymmetric parsec-scale morphology, i.e. core and one-sided jet. It is shared by 9 (possibly 10) of the 12 mapped radio galaxies. One (possibly 2) of the other galaxies has (have) a two-sided jet emission. Two sources are known from pub...
متن کاملMonitoring the Bi-directional Relativistic Jets of the Radio Galaxy 3c338
We present the analysis of VLA and VLBA observations of the radio source 3C338, associated with the cD galaxy NGC 6166, the central dominant galaxy of the cluster Abell 2199. The VLBA observations were done at 8.4 and 15.4 GHz, while the VLA observations were performed at 0.074, 0.330, and 8.4 GHz. The milliarcsecond resolution VLBA data, spanning 7 years, reveal the parsecscale jets, whose kin...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملQuasar Apparent Proper Motion Observed by Geodetic VLBI Networks
In our standard geodetic VLBI solutions, we estimate the positions of quasars assuming that their positions do not vary in time. However, in solutions estimating proper motion, a significant number of quasars show apparent proper motion greater than 50 μas/yr. For individual quasars, there are source structure effects that cause apparent proper motion. To examine how coherent the pattern of app...
