Beaming models and the correlations between the core dominance parameter and the core and extended powers of quasars
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the recent claim by Qin et al. that the observed correlations (or lack thereof) between the core dominance parameter and the core and extended powers of samples of lobeand core-dominated quasars is in contradiction with beaming models. Contrary to their conclusion, we find that their results are in perfect agreement with such models, and support this assertion with Monte Carlo simulations.

متن کاملAn Improved Measure of Quasar Orientation
Radio core dominance, usually measured by R, the rest frame ratio of core to lobe flux density, has been used as an indicator of Doppler boosting of quasars’ radio jets and hence the inclination of the central engine’s spin axis to the line of sight. The use of lobe flux density as a means of normalizing the boosted core flux density to the available intrinsic power of the central engine introd...
متن کاملPolarization and Variations of BL Lacertae Objects
BL Lacertae objects are an extreme subclass of AGNs showing rapid and large-amplitude variability, high and variable polarization, and core-dominated radio emissions. If a strong beaming effect is the cause of the extreme observation properties, one would expect that these properties would be correlated with each other. Based on the relativistic beaming model, relationships between the polariza...

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT In this paper, based on the polarization-Doppler factor result (Fan et al. 1997, paper I), relations between the polarization and the variation (∆m), as well as the core-dominance (log R) are derived and used to analyse the observation data of a 37-BL Lacertae-object sample. These correlations are consistent with the statistical results, which suggest that the...
