An extensive analysis of the sub-parsec region of 3C84
Proceedings of 15th European VLBI Network Mini-Symposium and Users' Meeting — PoS(EVN2022)(2023)
摘要
The study of jet launching in AGN is an important research method to better
understand supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their immediate surroundings.
The main theoretical jet launching scenarios invoke either magnetic field lines
anchored to the black hole's (BH) accretion disc (Blandford & Payne 1982) or a
magnetic field, which is directly connected to its rotating ergosphere
(Blandford & Znajek 1977). The nearby and bright radio galaxy 3C84 (NGC1275) is
a very suitable target for testing different jet launching mechanisms, as well
as for the study of the innermost, sub-parsec scale AGN structure and the jet
origin. Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) - specifically at millimetre
wavelengths - offers an unparalleled view into the physical processes in
action, in the close vicinity of SMBHs. Utilising such mm-VLBI observations of
3C84, we study the jet kinematics of the VLBI core region of 3C84 by employing
all available, high sensitivity 3 mm-VLBI data sets of this source. As part of
this analysis we associate the component ejection events with the variability
light-curves at different radio frequencies and in the $\gamma$-rays.
Furthermore, by cross-correlating these light-curves, we determine their
time-lags and draw conclusions regarding the location of the high energy
emission close to the jet base.
