Title: Learning About Jets From Observations of Blazars

Abstract

Jets, paving their way outward through the inner regions of active nuclei, Compton-interact with the UV radiation from an accretion disc and broad emission line region. We calculate the predicted properties of the resulting spectral signatures of this bulk-Compton process, noting that they are independent on the fractional proton content or kinetic power of the jet, and use the presence or absence of such signatures to put constraints on the structure of jets near their bases.

    We present 23 new VLBA images of the six established TeV blazars Markarian 421, Markarian 501, H 1426+428, 1ES 1959+650, PKS 2155-304, and 1ES 2344+514, obtained from 2005 to 2009. Most images were obtained at 43 GHz (7 mm), and they reveal the parsec-scale structures of three of these sources (1ES 1959+650, PKS 2155-304, and 1ES 2344+514) at factors of 2-3 higher resolution than has previously been attained. These images reveal new morphological details, including a high degree of jet bending in the inner milliarcsecond in PKS 2155-304. This establishes strong apparent jet bending on VLBI scales as a commonmore » property of TeV blazars, implying viewing angles close to the line of sight. Most of the remaining images map the linear polarization structures at a lower frequency of 22 GHz (1 cm). We discuss the transverse structures of the jets as revealed by the high-frequency and polarimetric imaging. The transverse structures include significant limb brightening in Mrk 421, and 'spine-sheath' structures in the electric vector position angle and fractional polarization distributions in Mrk 421, Mrk 501, and 1ES 1959+650. We use new measured component positions to update measured apparent jet speeds, in many cases significantly reducing the statistical error over previously published results. With the increased resolution at 43 GHz, we detect new components within 0.1-0.2 mas of the core in most of these sources. No motion is apparent in these new components over the time span of our observations, and we place upper limits on the apparent speeds of the components near the core of <2c. From those limits, we conclude that {Gamma}{sub 2} < ({Gamma}{sub 1}){sup 1/2} at {approx}10{sup 5} Schwarzschild radii, where {Gamma}{sub 1} and {Gamma}{sub 2} are the bulk Lorentz factors in the TeV emitting and 43 GHz emitting regions, respectively, assuming that their velocity vectors are aligned.« less

  • Density functional theory can in principle yield exact results but in practice the unknown exchange-correlation energy functional needs to be approximated. Although the commonly used local density approximation (LDA) to the exchange correlation energy has been surprisingly successful, it has well known deficiencies too. Recent attempts to go beyond the LDA have focussed on various forms of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), but these unfortunately are not a systematic improvement upon the LDA. In order to gain more insight, we have constructed exact density functional quantities for model systems where it is possible to tune from a weak-correlation case tomore » a strong-correlation case. Accurate density functional quantities are also obtained for light atoms using quantum Monte Carlo. We have focussed not only on the total energy (an integrated quantity) but also on the exchange and correlation potentials which contain far more information. These results are compared with those from commonly used approximate density functionals in order to gain a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the currently used approximate density functionals and to guide the search for better functionals. The possible relationship of the true Kohn-Sham eigenvalues to excitation energies and the prospects for improved density functionals will be discussed.« less

    Vlasov theory describing the interaction of Alfven-cyclotron fluctuations and ions in the collisionless solar wind predicts that alpha particles should be strongly scattered perpendicular to the background magnetic field when the alpha/proton relative velocity v{sub {alpha}}{sub p} is negative or has a sufficiently small positive value relative to the Alfven speed v{sub A}. This theory also predicts that, if v{sub {alpha}}{sub p}/v{sub A} is positive and sufficiently large, it is the protons which are scattered in the perpendicular direction, although less strongly. Here proton and alpha particle anisotropies measured in the solar wind near 1 AU (AU, astronomical unit) bymore » the plasma and magnetic field instruments on the Advanced Composition Explorer spacecraft are reported which are consistent with these predicted signatures. This indicates that Alfven-cyclotron heating of ions is active in the solar wind; by using this medium to study this fundamental process, a greater understanding may be obtained of how Alfven-cyclotron scattering contributes to heating of ions in the solar corona.« less

    We have conducted multiwavelength observations of several northern TeV blazars employing the ground-based {gamma}-ray observatories MAGIC and HESS, the optical KVA telescope, and the Suzaku X-ray satellite. The data taken in 2006 establish measurements of the contemporaneous spectral energy distributions of the rapidly variable blazar emission over a wide range of frequencies. Results allow us to test leptonic and hadronic emission and particle acceleration models which predict different correlations between the optical, X-ray, and very high energy {gamma}-ray emissions. In this presentation, we report on the highlights of the results of these observations.
