22 Mar 1995 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | We report on multifrequency radio observations made with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope, the IRAM 30-m telescope and the Green Bank Interferometer between 1992 and 1994 of the $gamma$-ray quasar 0528+134. We present a new VLBI based map of 0518+134 at 22 GHz with sub-mas angular resolution observed in November 1992, which shows a one-sided core jet structure of $sim$ 5 mas length. One component, seen also previously at 8.4 GHz 22 GHz, shows apparent superluminal motion with $eta_{app}$=4.4$pm$1.7. In summer 1993 we observed a major outburst at all frequencies higher than a few GHz, which peaked a few months after a strong outburst in high energy $gamma$-rays and showed the canonical time evolution of a cooling and/or expanding electron distribution. Our data indicate that the outburst in the EGRET range originated very close to the central object of the AGN and that a remnant of this outburst moved further outward in the jet until it became optically thin at radio frequencies after a few months. During the flare in July 1993 we observed with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope an unusually strong decrease of the flux density by about 50at 4.75,GHz and 10.55,GHz and slightly less at 2.695,GHz. This behaviour is also seen in the monitoring data at 2.25,GHz and 8.3,GHz taken with the Green Bank Interferometer (NRL-GBI). An extreme scattering event by a small dense plasma cloud in the line of sight is able to match the observed time lag in the lightcurves if we take into account the mas-structure of the source and different spectra of the components on the basis of their brightness in the VLBI maps. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9503082 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
