We present ROSAT PSPC observations of the twin-jet radio galaxy 3C 449. The soft X-ray emission from this object is dominated by an extended halo with a scale comparable to that of the radio source. The asymmetry of the X-ray emission is reflected in that of the radio lobes, providing evidence that the behaviour of the jets is strongly influenced by the external medium. A region of reduced X-ray surface brightness coincident with the southern radio lobe of 3C 449 suggests that the radio source has displaced thermal plasma from the X-ray-emitting halo. However, the minimum pressure in the radio lobe is considerably lower than our estimates of the pressure in the external medium. We discuss the implications for the dynamics of the radio source. 相似文献

We deduce the apparent velocity formula of general relativity for a source moving in a spherical neutrino halo and show that, considering gravitational effects on the motion of photons, the neutrino halo around a quasar may cause apparent superluminal phenomena. Sample calculations illustrating this result are shown. 相似文献

Based on the relativistic model of the apparent superluminal motion and under the condition that the center of mass of a superluminal radio source remains in motion relative to the observer, the equation of the apparent velocity between nucleus and component is derived. Assuming that the directions of jet and movement of superluminal radio source are opposite, then, supposing that the velocities of nucleus and components of SLS are equal and the nucleus is fixed, the equations of real velocity are respectively derived. With the data of Vapp and θ substituted in the equation of real velocity, the velocity of the components of SLS is obtained. Comparing the real velocity with the velocity of Hubble redshift of SLS, it is concluded that the movement of SLS has no influence on the velocity of components. 相似文献

The problem of strong polarization of the zebra-type fine structure in solar radio emission is discussed. In the framework of the plasma mechanism of radiation at the levels of the double plasma resonance, the polarization of the observed radio emission may be due to a difference in rates of plasma wave conversion into ordinary and extraordinary waves or different conditions of escaping of these waves from the source. In a weakly anisotropic plasma which is a source of the zebra-pattern with rather large harmonic numbers, the degree of polarization of the radio emission at twice the plasma frequency originating from the coalescence of two plasma waves is proportional to the ratio of the electron gyrofrequency to the plasma frequency, which is a small number and is negligible. Noticeable polarization can therefore arise only if the observed radio emission is a result of plasma wave scattering by ions (including induced scattering) or their coalescence with low-frequency waves. In this case, the ordinary mode freely leaves the source, but the extraordinary mode gets into the decay zone and does not exit from the source. As a result, the outgoing radio emission can be strongly polarized as the ordinary mode. Possible reasons for the polarization of the zebra pattern in the microwave region are discussed. 相似文献

We present detailed observations of MRC 0116+111, revealing a luminous, miniradio halo of ∼240-kpc diameter located at the centre of a cluster of galaxies at redshift z = 0.131 . Our optical and multiwavelength Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope and Very Large Array radio observations reveal a highly unusual radio source: showing a pair of giant (∼100-kpc diameter) bubble-like diffuse structures, that are about three times larger than the analogous extended radio emission observed in M87 – the dominant central radio galaxy in the Virgo cluster. However, in MRC 0116+111 we do not detect any ongoing active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity, such as a compact core or active radio jets feeding the plasma bubbles. The radio emitting relativistic particles and magnetic fields were probably seeded in the past by a pair of radio jets originating in the AGN of the central cD galaxy. The extremely steep high-frequency radio spectrum of the north-western bubble, located ∼100 kpc from cluster centre, indicates radiation losses, possibly because having detached, it is rising buoyantly and moving away into the putative hot intracluster medium. The other bubble, closer to the cluster centre, shows signs of ongoing particle re-acceleration. We estimate that the radio jets which inflated these two bubbles might have also fed enough energy into the intracluster medium to create an enormous system of cavities and shock fronts, and to drive a massive outflow from the AGN, which could counter-balance and even quench a cooling flow. Therefore, this source presents an excellent opportunity to understand the energetics and the dynamical evolution of radio jet inflated plasma bubbles in the hot cluster atmosphere. 相似文献

In the superluminal source quasar 3C 345, five VLBI knots have been observed to have superluminal motion and, in particular, the two knots C4 and C5 move along different curved orbits. This paper examines the possibility that this pair of orbits are due to the motion of the radio core. Using the available data, the motions of C4 and C5 are resolved as a superposition of a motion of the core and a motion along a common orbit. The results show that such a resolution can fit well the observations. A brief discussion is made on further test of the model and its physical implications. 相似文献

The problem of electromagnetic radiation from electric and magnetic line sources interacting with a moving uniaxially anisotropic dielectric or plasma half-space is treated. The anisotropy of the plasma is due to an infinitely strong magnetizing field impressedparallel to the motion of plasma. The line source is oriented normal to the direction of medium motion. TheE and theH modes are excited independently in the medium by the magnetic and the electric line sources, respectively. Invoking the saddle-point method of integration, the far-zone radiation field and the radiation pattern are obtained for both line sources. It is found that the radiation from an electric line source is not affected by the anisotropy of the moving medium and that a magnetic line source invacuum has finite components of radiation in directions which are parallel and antiparallel to the direction of motion, for the case of a uniaxial plasma in contrast to the results for a uniaxial dielectric. Numerical results for the far-zone radiation pattern, referring to a magnetic line source, are presented for several values of parameters characterizing the non-dimensional velocity, the anisotropy of the medium, the electron-plasma density and the location of the line source. 相似文献

The interaction of fragmented plasma of active galactic nuclei jets with galactic haloes via gravitational scattering and lensing by dark matter subhaloes is studied using analytical calculations and numerical Monte-Carlo method. The lensing of jet radiation by halo masses is found to be negligible and unobservable. Moving through a galactic halo jet plasma fragments are sequentially deflected on hyperbolic orbits by gravitational field of subhaloes and deviates at some angles when leaving halo, causing widening of the jet. Based on this model jet opening angles are calculated numerically for various values of jet and halo characteristics. Though these angles are very small, gravitational scattering by halo masses results in specific radial profile of jet radiation intensity, that does not depend on halo mass distribution and jet properties. The intensity of jet radiation, obeying the derived profile, decreases by reasonable observable factors giving possibility to probe the presence of dark matter subhaloes. 相似文献

The large mechanical luminosity of the jets of GRS 1915+105 should give rise to luminous emission regions, similar to those
observed in radio galaxies, where the jets interact with the gas surrounding the source. However, no radio synchrotron emission
of the expected morphology has been found. Here we present the results of a study suggesting that radio bremsstrahlung from
the compressed and heated ISM in front of the jets should be detectable, while the synchrotron lobes may be too faint. We
identify these jet impact sites with two well-known IRAS regions. This identification suggests a distance of GRS 1915+105
of 6.5± 1.6 kpc, significantly closer than the usually assumed distance of 11–12 kpc. We discuss the implications of this
reduced distance estimate. The non-detection of the synchrotron radio lobes implies a significant fraction of non-radiating
particles, possibly protons, in the jets. The apparent motion of small-scale jet components is not superluminal, so if superluminal
motion is required for an object to be termed a microquasar, GRS 1915+105 actually does not qualify. The mass of the black
hole in the system is increased to 21± 9 M⊙, while the mechanical luminosity of the jets is reduced to 14% of the Eddington luminosity. 相似文献

The large active region AR NOAA 5200 from October 1988 is used to investigate the concept of the “halo,” a magnetosphere-like
structure above the active region. This structure is studied by using radio spectral polarization observations with high spatial
resolution obtained mainly with the radio telescope RATAN-600. In the case of AR 5200 the halo emission accounted for >50%
of the total AR emission. The results of the analysis of the observational data and of the model calculations allow us to
reach the following conclusions: (1) The halo is a large, nonstructured, source of emission with a size of the total AR, with
the emission centered at the dividing (neutral) line of polarities of the bipolar sunspot group. (2) The emission spectrum
allows us to distinguish two components: a thermal part and a nonthermal part. The presence of two components implies that
there are two populations of particles with different energy levels in the emission region. The phenomenon of inversion of
the polarized halo radio emission could be explained by the influence of propagation conditions inside the source. The term
“self-inversion” is introduced. The maximum in the halo density flux spectrum at wavelengths of 5 –10 cm may be explained
by scattering resulting from the strong suppression of the emissivity of nonthermal electrons at these and longer wavelengths. 相似文献

It is shown that induced Raman scattering of electromagnetic waves in the strongly magnetized electron–positron plasma of pulsar magnetospheres may be important for wave propagation and as an effective saturation mechanism for electromagnetic instabilities. The frequencies at which strong Raman scattering occurs in the outer parts of a magnetosphere fall into the observed radio band. The typical threshold intensities for the strong Raman scattering are of the order of the observed intensities, implying that pulsar magnetospheres may be optically thick to Raman scattering of electromagnetic waves. 相似文献

The problem of electromagnetic radiation from electric and magnetic line sources interacting with a moving magnetoplasma slab backed by a finitely conducting medium is treated. The local magnetostatic field is aligned parallel with the line source and is perpendicular to the direction of slab motion. For the configuration, theE andH modes are excited independently by a magnetic and an electric line source respectively. Expressions for the far zone radiation fields and the radiation pattern have been obtained for both the line sources. It is found that the radiation due to an electric line source is not affected by the presence of a static magnetic field and the motion of the slab medium. Numerical results for the radiation pattern referring to both the line sources have been presented for a wide range of parameters characterizing the finite magnetostatic field, the conductivity of the medium backing the plasma, the thickness of the slab and the location of the line source. 相似文献

The Galactic radio-emitting X-ray binary Cygnus X-3 is known to be a source of large-scale radio jets associated with periods of intense radio flaring. These jets have been found to have an expansion velocity of ∼0.3 c and are believed (on kinematic grounds) to lie close to the plane of the sky. We present new observations of Cygnus X-3 using the VLBA at 15 GHz. These observations, which included the detection of two small flares, show an additional kind of behaviour with apparent superluminal expansion along both major and minor axes. Evidence for superluminal activity has been found in a number of X-ray binary systems such as GRS 1915+105 and GRO J1655−40 with their superluminal radio jets. Apparently similar morphologies of the Galactic and extragalactic jet sources have led to the X-ray binaries being described as 'micro-quasars'. The superluminal expansion seen in our results appears to be different in nature from these other two sources, and a number of mechanisms are presented and discussed. 相似文献

We present extensive multi-epoch VLBI observations of the quasar 3C 380 which reveal a bent parsec-scale radio jet with complex substructure which exhibits superluminal motion out to ∼100 pc from the active core. The general characteristics of the jet and its motion are similar to those in several other well-studied superluminal sources, most notably a rapid increase in the opening angle at a projected distance of a few tens of parsecs from the core and apparent acceleration along the jet. This acceleration could be a simple kinematic effect associated with bulk flow at a constant speed, but at a varying angle to the line of sight. The jet is well resolved in the transverse direction for the majority of its length and resembles numerical simulations of a jet disrupted by the rapid growth of sinusoidal 'Kelvin–Helmholtz' modes. Our maps also reveal extremely rapid localized variations in brightness which have not yet been seen in other nuclear jets. We suggest that phase effects, arising from the intersection of oblique shocks, may be the cause of these dramatic changes. 3C 380 is often classified as a compact steep spectrum (CSS) source; however, in contrast to the majority of CSS sources, it is likely that 3C 380 is simply a powerful FRII source seen approximately end-on. 相似文献

An interpretation is presented of the decimetric type IV continuum with fine structure on March 6, 1972 and of the corresponding source region, in terms of ?erenkov plasma radiation and alternatively of synchrotron radiation, both in case of coherent and incoherent generation. If the magnetic field strength in the source region is a few gauss, in a stationary situation a loss cone instability develops which generates electron plasma waves coherently. The amount of energetic electrons required for consecutive induced scattering of the plasma waves at the thermal ions into electromagnetic waves is less than in case of synchrotron radiation. It is concluded that the former mechanism provides the explanation of type IV continua with fine structure such as intermediate drift bursts and sudden reductions of the continuum level. 相似文献
