Very-long-baseline radio interferometry (VLBI) observations of gamma-ray blazars: results from millimeter-VLBI observations.
VLBI observations of the extremely gamma-bright blazar PKS 0528+134 at 8, 22, 43, and 86 GHz reveal a strongly bent one-sided-core jet structure with at least three moving and two apparently stationary jet components. At the highest observing frequencies the brightest and most compact jet component (the VLBI core) is unresolved with an upper limit to its size of approximately 50 microarcsec cor...
متن کاملThe Role of Millimeter VLBI Observations in AGN Research
VLBI at millimeter wavelengths (mm-VLBI) allows the detailed imaging of compact galactic and extragalactic radio sources with micro-arcsecond scale resolution, unaccessible by other observing techniques. Here we discuss the scientific potential of mm-VLBI for present and future research on 'Active Galactic Nuclei' (AGN) and their powerful relativistic jets. With the new generation of large radi...
متن کاملMillimeter-VLBI with a Large Millimeter-Array: Future Possibilities
We discuss possibilities and improvements which could be obtained, if a phased array with a large number (N= 50 − 100) of sub-millimeter antennas – like the planned large southern array (LSA) – is used for radio-interferometry with very long baselines (VLBI) at millimeter wavelengths. We find that the addition of such an instrument will push the detection limit and the imaging capabilities of a...
متن کاملVLBA Observations of Blazars
VLBI observations of blazars provide the closest look at compact jets that are thought to be responsible for the variable emission of blazars from radio to γ-ray wavelengths. It appears that flux variability at different wavelengths is connected to changes in jet structure near its base. The changes happen on timescales of weeks or less, which require frequent VLBI monitoring to follow. Current...
متن کامل2 00 8 Towards millimeter VLBI
We discuss the present performance and the future perspectives of VLBI in the 3 mm to 0.85 mm observing bands (so called mm-VLBI). The availability of new telescopes for mm-VLBI and the recent technical development towards larger observing bandwidth and higher data-rates now allow to image with 3mm-VLBI hundreds of sources with high dynamic range. At 1.3 mm, pilot VLBI studies have proven detec...
