Jet Collimation in Action: Re-alignment on Kiloparsec Scales in 3c 279
We report a change in the trajectory of a well studied jet component of the quasar 3C 279. The component changes in apparent projected speed and direction, and we find it to be moving with a Lorentz factor γ & 15 at an initial angle of . 1◦ to the line of sight. The new trajectory of the component has approximately the same speed and direction as an earlier superluminal feature, originally seen...
متن کاملQuasar Jets on Parsec and Kiloparsec Scales
In order to improve our understanding of the physics of relativistic jets in quasars, we examined correlations originally reported by Bridle et al . (1994). We expanded their original sample of 13 3CR lobe-dominated quasars imaged by the VLA to a statistically complete sample of 21. Using the NRAO AIPS image analysis software, we measured structural parameters and flux densities for various qua...
متن کاملThe Dense Gas in the Central Kiloparsec of Ngc 6946
We present observations of the HCN and HCO J=1-0 transitions in the center of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 6946 made with the BIMA and CARMA interferometers. Using the BIMA SONG CO map, we investigate the change in the IHCN/ICO and IHCO+/ICO integrated intensity ratios as a function of radius in the central kiloparsec of the galaxy, and find that they are strongly concentrated at the center. We...
متن کاملThe inner kiloparsec of the jet in 3 C 264
We present new multi-frequency EVN, MERLIN and VLA observations of the radio source 3C 264, sensitive to linear scales ranging from the parsec to several kiloparsecs. The observations confirm the existence of regions with different properties in the first kiloparsec of the jet. The most remarkable feature is the transition between a well collimated narrow jet at distances from the core below 80...
متن کاملRadio Jet in Ngc 7479
The barred galaxy NGC 7479 hosts a remarkable jet-like radio continuum feature: bright, 12-kpc long in projection, and hosting an aligned magnetic field. The degree of polarization is 6%–8% along the jet, and remarkably constant, which is consistent with helical field models. The radio brightness of the jet suggests strong interaction with the ISM and hence a location near the disk plane. We ob...
