Unique Science Opportunities for Space VLBI Systems with the SKA Telescopes
Y. Y. Kovalev, G. Bruni, T. An +17
To date, two dedicated Space Very Long Baseline Interferometry (SVLBI) missions, the VLBI Space Observatory Programme (VSOP) and RadioAstron, have provided groundbreaking insights…
Observations of a Possible Transient Magnetically Arrested Accretion State in a Nearby Quasar: OQ208
Brian Punsly, Cormac Reynolds, Paola Marziani +12
OQ208 is a nearby, partially obscured quasar (z=0.077) that is a young, bright, parsec scale radio source. We assemble archival and new high frequency VLBA and VLA observations and…
Direct VLBI Detection of Interstellar Turbulence Imprint on a Quasar: TXS 2005+403
Alexander Plavin, Alexander Pushkarev, Yuri Kovalev
We report the first unambiguous detection of refractive substructure in an active galactic nucleus (AGN) using ground-based Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). Our analysis o…
Revisiting the angular size-redshift cosmological test with milliarcsecond radio structures in active galactic nuclei
Mina Ghodsi Yengejeh, Tatiana A. Koryukova, Leonid I. Gurvits +5
VLBI measurements of the sizes of compact extragalactic radio sources, jetted active galactic nuclei, provide data for probing the angular size--redshift relation, offering a compl…
Where within the 3C 84 jet are -rays produced?
Georgios F. Paraschos, Ioannis Liodakis, Svetlana Jorstad +49
The location of -ray creation and emission within extra-galactic jets is a matter of active debate. One particularly well-suited source to pinpoint the location is the nearby,…
Revisiting 3C 279 jet morphology with space VLBI at 26 microarcsecond resolution
Teresa Toscano, José L. Gómez, Guang-Yao Zhao +12
We present observations of the blazar 3C 279 at 22 GHz using the space VLBI mission RadioAstron on 2018 January 15. Images in both total intensity and fractional polarization are r…
