The “ Number – Flux Density ” Relation for Milliarcsecond Structures in Extragalactic Radio Sources
" Number – flux density " distributions for total and correlated flux densities at various interferometer spacings in 355 extragalactic radio sources are analysed. Qualitative conclusions on the population of milliarcsecond components in these sources are presented. The progress of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technology over the past decades made it possible to proceed from studyin...
متن کاملYoung Extragalactic Radio Sources
Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) sources and Compact Symmetric Objects (CSO) are selected in very different ways, but have a significant overlap in properties. Ever since their discovery it has been speculated that they are young objects, but only recently, strong evidence has been provided indicating that GPS sources and CSOs are indeed the young counterparts of large, extended sources. They ar...
متن کاملReconnecting Magnetic Flux Tubes as a Source of in Situ Acceleration in Extragalactic Radio Sources
Many extended extragalactic radio sources require a local in situ acceleration mechanism for electrons, in part because the synchrotron lifetimes are shorter than the bulk travel time across the emitting regions. If the magnetic field in these sources is localized in flux tubes, reconnection may occur between regions of plasma β (ratio of particle to magnetic pressure) << 1, even though β avera...
متن کاملDetermination of optical positions for 23 extragalactic radio sources
AB S TRACT The optical counterparts of 23 extragalactic radio sources, of which 13 are in the southern hemisphere, have been observed by three telescopes equipped with CCDs. By reference to the Astrographic/Tycho (ACT) Reference, Carlsberg Meridian (CMC), Positions and Proper Motions (PPM), Hipparcos (HIP) and Lick Northern Proper Motion (NPM) catalogues, the positions of the 23 objects have be...
متن کاملKinematics of Extragalactic Radio Sources A Model for Symmetric Jets
Symmetric extragalactic radio sources exhibit a baffling array of features that are very poorly understood. What is the origin of the remarkable symmetry between the two lobes? Why is the emission in the radio frequency (RF) range? Why are the jets so well collimated, implying long term memory of the core? Why do the core regions emit blue and ultraviolet light? What is the origin of transient ...
