Relativistic Jet Motion in the Radio-quiet LINER Galaxy KISSR872
Preeti Kharb, Eric G. Blackman, Eric Clausen-Brown +5
We report superluminal jet motion with an apparent speed of in the radio-quiet (RQ) low ionisation nuclear emission line region (LINER) galaxy, KISSR87…
Studies of the Jet in BL Lacertae. II. Superluminal Alfvén Waves
M. H. Cohen, D. L. Meier, T. G. Arshakian +8
We study the kinematics of ridge lines on the pc-scale jet of the active galactic nucleus BL Lac. We show that the ridge lines display transverse patterns that move superluminally…
MOJAVE: Monitoring of Jets in Active Galactic Nuclei with VLBA Experiments. XI. Spectral distributions
T. Hovatta, M. F. Aller, H. D. Aller +6
We have obtained milliarcsecond-scale spectral index distributions for a sample of 190 extragalactic radio jets through the MOJAVE project. The sources were observed in 2006 at 8.1…
AGN jet physics and apparent opening angles
Eric Clausen-Brown, Tuomas Savolainen, Alexander B. Pushkarev +2
We present a new method to measure Gamma*theta_j in flux-limited samples of active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets, where Gamma is the bulk Lorentz factor and theta_j is the jet's half-…
Crab Nebula gamma-ray flares as relativistic reconnection minijets
Eric Clausen-Brown, Maxim Lyutikov
The unusually short durations, high luminosities, and high photon energies of the Crab Nebula gamma-ray flares require relativistic bulk motion of the emitting plasma. We explain t…
Signatures of large-scale magnetic fields in AGN jets: transverse asymmetries
Eric Clausen-Brown, Maxim Lyutikov, Preeti Kharb
We investigate the emission properties that a large-scale helical magnetic field imprints on AGN jet synchrotron radiation. A cylindrically symmetric relativistic jet and large-sca…
