Millimeter VLBI and Variability in AGN Jets
Millimeter-VLBI images probe as deep as never before the nuclei of AGN. VLBI at 147GHz yields transatlantic fringes for the first time. Now we can begin to study the relation between jet kinematics and spectral activity with a few ten micro-arcsecond resolution. 1. Present Status of 3mm-VLBI The main advantage of VLBI observations at short millimeter wavelengths (mmVLBI) is the very high angula...
متن کاملLinear polarization and composition of VLBI jets
It is shown that linear polarization data can be used to constrain the composition (normal or pair plasma) of pc-scale extragalactic jets. A simple criterion, based on synchrotron and Faraday depolarization properties, is established. It does not depend on the particle density and the length of the emitting region along the line of sight, thus eliminating two physical unknowns.
متن کاملCoherence in the turbulent cascade
The model assumes that each step generates eddies with smaller length scales ∆x, usually ∆02. After the initial effects are forgotten, the probability distribution of vn is completely determined by the distribution W of the ‘breakdown coefficients’ vn/vn−1 (Frisch, 1995). These assumptions are known to describe well some of the statistical properties of isotropic turbulence and, in particular, ...
متن کاملTurbulent Cascade of Circulations
The circulation around any closed loop is a Lagrangian invariant for classical, smooth solutions of the incompressible Euler equations in any number of space dimensions. However, singular solutions relevant to turbulent flows need not preserve the classical integrals of motion. Here we generalize the Kelvin theorem on conservation of circulations to distributional solutions of Euler and give ne...
متن کاملStructural Stability of Turbulent Jets
Turbulence in fluids is commonly observed to coexist with relatively large spatial and temporal scale coherent jets. These jets may be steady, vacillate with a definite period, or be irregular. A comprehensive theory for this phenomenon is presented based on the mutual interaction between the coherent jet and the turbulent eddies. When a sufficient number of statistically independent realizatio...
