Rapid Multiwaveband Polarization Variability in the Quasar PKS 0420−014: Optical Emission from the Compact Radio Jet
An 11-day monitoring campaign in late 2005 reveals clear correlation in polarization between the optical emission and the region of the intensity peak (the “pseudocore”) at the upstream end of the jet in 43 GHz Very Long Baseline Array images in the highly variable quasar PKS 0420−014. The electric-vector position angle (EVPA) of the pseudocore rotated by about 80 in four VLBA observations over...
متن کاملThree-year VLBI monitoring of PKS 0420–014
We present nine 3.6-cm VLBI observations of the optically violent variable (OVV) flat-spectrum radio quasar PKS 0420–014 taken over a period of three years (1989.32– 1992.48); we also show a VLBI map from observations at 43 GHz in 1992.4. We trace jet evolution and variability with individual components. We find superluminal motion with βapp ∼ 2–14c for five jet components. Components ejected m...
متن کاملMultiwavelength Observations of the Powerful γ-ray Quasar PKS 1510−089: Clues on the Jet Composition
We present the results from a multiwavelength campaign conducted in August 2006 of the powerful γ-ray quasar PKS 1510−089 (z = 0.361). This campaign commenced with a deep Suzaku observation lasting three days for a total exposure time of 120 ks, and continued with Swift monitoring over 18 days. Besides Swift observations, which sampled the optical/UV flux in all 6 UVOT filters as well as the X-...
متن کاملTwo classes of radio flares in the blazar PKS 0420 − 014
The two 5GHz VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) observations (1996 June and 1997 November) presented in this paper, combined with several former VLBI observations at 8.4GHz and 5GHz, suggest that the radio flares of the blazar PKS 0420−014 can be divided into two classes according to their geometric origins in 5 or 8.4GHz VLBI maps and the properties of light curves. One class of flares, ...
متن کاملGAMMA RAY PULSARS Multiwavelength Observations
High-energy gamma rays are a valuable tool for studying particle acceleration and radiation in the magnetospheres of energetic pulsars. The seven or more pulsars seen by instruments on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) show that: the light curves usually have double-peak structures (suggesting a broad cone of emission); gamma rays are frequently the dominant component of the radiated pow...
