    A study on the imaging potential of QUASAT (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The orbit, ground array, and sensitivities of the space and ground systems of the QUASAT spaceborne astronomy mission were studied. Parameters which yield images in which the noise is within a factor of three of the thermal noise limit were derived. With a very large ground array QUASAT should produce images as complex as the best of the VLA. At 22 GHz the resolution will be 0.1 milliarcsec, the field of view 15 milliarcsec, and it will be possible to make noise limited maps of complex objects. The QUASAT is essential for mapping southern declination objects. Without QUASAT, even the simple core-jet source cannot be mapped at declination minus 60 deg. It will be possible with QUASAT to make maps with observing times as short as 6 hr although the very best maps will require 48 hr observations.

    Strong source VLBI observations at 22 GHz (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Twenty-six strong high-frequency radio sources have been observed at 22.3 GHz on interferometer baselines of approximately 500 million wavelengths. Twenty-five were detected, and 14 have mean visibilities over 50 percent. The strongest sources as a group are more heavily resolved than the weaker sources.

    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The compact nuclear source in NGC 6251 has been observed with VLBI techniques at 2.8 and 13 cm. The source is asymmetric with a bright optically thick core and an optically thin jet. The jet has a small but significant difference in position angle from the outer jet.

    First Intrinsic Anisotropy Observations With the Cosmic Background Imager (2001)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-17
    Description: We present the first results of observations of the intrinsic anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation with the Cosmic Background Imager from a site at 5080 in altitude in northern Chile. Our observations show a sharp decrease in C_l in the range l = 400 - 1500. Such a decrease in power at high l is one of the fundamental predictions of the standard cosmological model, and these are the first observations which cover a broad enough 1-range to show this decrease in a single experiment. The power, C_l, at l approximately 600 is higher than measured by Boomerang and Maxima, with the differences being significant at the 2.7sigma and 1.9sigma levels, respectively. The C_l we have measured enable us to place limits on the density parameter, Omega(tot) 〈= 0.4 or Omega(tot) 〉= 0.7 (90% confidence).

    Extended and compact X-ray emission in powerful radio galaxies (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: We report ROSAT X-ray observations of two powerful radio galaxies. 3C 280 provides evidence for a mixture of unresolved and extended emission, with the latter produced by hot plasma of insufficient pressure to confine the radio lobes and insufficient density for a cooling flow to have begun. 3C 220.3 gives only an X-ray upper limit, but one consistent with our interpretation of the X-ray emission from powerful radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in terms of obscured and unobscured components.

    The second Caltech-Jodrell Bank VLBI survey. 1: Observations of 91 of 193 sources (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: We define the sample for the second Caltech-Jodrell Bank very long base interferometry (VLBI) survey. This is a sample of 193 flat- or gigahertz-peaked-spectrum sources selected at 4850 MHz. This paper presents images of 91 sources with a resolution of approximately 1 mas, obtained using VLBI observations at 4992 MHz with a global array. The remaining images and the integrated radio spectra will be presented in a forthcoming paper by Henstock et al.

    The Most Powerful Flaring Activity from the NLSy1 PMN J0948+0022 (2014)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: We report on multifrequency observations performed during 2012 December-2013 August of the first narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy detected in gamma rays, PMN J0948+0022 (z equal to 0.5846). A gamma-ray flare was observed by the Large Area Telescope on board Fermi during 2012 December-2013 January, reaching a daily peak flux in the 0.1-100 GeV energy range of (155 plus or minus 31)10(exp 8) ph cm (exp 2) s (exp 1) on 2013 January 1, corresponding to an apparent isotropic luminosity of approximately 1.510)exp 48) erg s(exp 1). The gamma-ray flaring period triggered Swift and VERITAS observations in addition to radio and optical monitoring by OVRO, MOJAVE, and CRTS. A strong flare was observed in optical, UV, and X- rays on 2012 December 30, quasi-simultaneously to the gamma-ray flare, reaching a record flux for this source from optical to gamma rays. VERITAS observations at very high energy (E greater than 100 GeV) during 2013 January 6-17 resulted in an upper limit of F(sub greater than 0.2 TeV) less than 4.0 10(exp 12) ph cm(exp 2) s(exp 1). We compared the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the flaring state in 2013 January with that of an intermediate state observed in 2011. The two SEDs, modelled as synchrotron emission and an external Compton scattering of seed photons from a dust torus, can be modelled by changing both the electron distribution parameters and the magnetic field.

    A Giant Radio Flare from Cygnus X-3 with Associated Gamma-Ray Emission (2012)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-27
    Description: With frequent flaring activity of its relativistic jets, Cygnus X-3 (Cyg X-3) is one of the most active microquasars and is the only Galactic black hole candidate with confirmed high energy gamma-ray emission, thanks to detections by Fermi/LAT and AGILE. In 2011, Cyg X-3 was observed to transit to a soft X-ray state, which is known to be associated with high-energy gamma-ray emission. We present the results of a multiwavelength campaign covering a quenched state, when radio emission from Cyg X-3 is at its weakest and the X-ray spectrum is very soft. A giant (approx 20 Jy) optically thin radio flare marks the end of the quenched state, accompanied by rising non-thermal hard X-rays. Fermi/LAT observations (E greater than or equal 100 MeV) reveal renewed gamma-ray activity associated with this giant radio flare, suggesting a common origin for all non-thermal components. In addition, current observations unambiguously show that the gamma-ray emission is not exclusively related to the rare giant radio flares. A 3-week period of gamma-ray emission is also detected when Cyg X-3 was weakly flaring in radio, right before transition to the radio quenched state. No gamma rays are observed during the one-month long quenched state, when the radio flux is weakest. Our results suggest transitions into and out of the ultrasoft X-ray (radio quenched) state trigger gamma-ray emission, implying a connection to the accretion process, and also that the gamma-ray activity is related to the level of radio flux (and possibly shock formation), strengthening the connection to the relativistic jets.
