Observations of the Structure and Dynamics of the Inner M87 Jet
R. Craig Walker, Philip E. Hardee, Fred Davies +4
M87 is the best source in which to study a jet at high resolution in gravitational units because it has a very high mass black hole and is nearby. The angular size of the black hol…
A Highly Magnetized Twin-Jet Base Pinpoints a Supermassive Black Hole
A. -K. Baczko, R. Schulz, M. Kadler +13
Supermassive black holes (SMBH) are essential for the production of jets in radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN). Theoretical models based on Blandford & Znajek extract the rota…
Acceleration of Compact Radio Jets on Sub-parsec Scales
Sang-Sung Lee, Andrei P. Lobanov, Thomas P. Krichbaum +1
Jets of compact radio sources are highly relativistic and Doppler boosted, making studies of their intrinsic properties difficult. Observed brightness temperatures can be used to s…
RadioAstron Observations of the Quasar 3C273: a Challenge to the Brightness Temperature Limit
Y. Y. Kovalev, N. S. Kardashev, K. I. Kellermann +17
Inverse Compton cooling limits the brightness temperature of the radiating plasma to a maximum of K. Relativistic boosting can increase its observed value, but apparent…
