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…

Investigating the origin of radio emission in candidate super-Eddington accreting black holes

Marie-Lou Gendron-Marsolais, Paola Marziani, Marco Berton +8

Recent works show that the radio power of quasars accreting at very high rates can reach surprisingly high values. These studies suggest that this radio emission might originate fr…

First image of a jet launching from a black hole accretion system: Kinematics

Brian Punsly

Jets are endemic to both Galactic solar mass and extragalactic supermassive black holes. A recent 86 GHz image of M\,87 shows a jet emerging from the accretion ring around a black…

The cylindrical jet base of M87 within 100 of the central engine

Brian Punsly

A recent article on high-resolution 86 GHz observations with the Global Millimeter VLBI Array, the phased Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, and the Greenland Telescope…

HST-1 as a Window to the Energetics of the Jet Spine of M87

Brian Punsly

A new interpretation of the optical knot in the jet of M87, HST-1, is presented. High sensitivity 22 GHz Very Large Array images locate HST-1 to within 6 mas of the jet axis immedi…

The Details of Limb Brightening Reveal the Structure of the Base of the Jet in M\,87 for the First Time

Brian Punsly

It has become commonplace is astronomy to describe the transverse coarse structure of jets in loosely defined terms such as "sheath" and "spine" based on discussions of parsec scal…
