摘要
使用全球VLBI网在1.3 cm波段对三颗类星体0420-014、0748+126和2251+158(3C 454.3)进行了观测,获得了这三个类星体的亚毫角秒分辨率的混杂图,给出了类星体核区内的亮度分布.通过用高斯模型对观测数据进行拟合,得到了组成它们的各个子源的参数.类星体2251+158呈现出核-喷流结构,核区沿着PA~-130°方向拉长,喷流呈弯曲状.1992.9历元的观测展现了2251+158处于一次大爆发,并伴随一系列相继出现的小爆发的情景.最强子源的积分流量密度为 4.11Jy(占探测到的总流量的 67%),主要集中在0.16 × 0.01 mas的区域内,可能由于多普勒增亮效应造成高达2.6×1012的亮温度.
The quasars, 042M14, 0748+126 and 2251+158 (3C 454.3), have been observed at 1 .3 cm with a global VLBI network. We have obtained the hybrid maps of the quasars at submilliarcsecond resolution. The brightness distribution is revealed in their nuclear regions. The observed data are fitted with a small number of Gaussian components. 2251+158 shows a core-jet structure, and its nuclear region is elongated in the direction PA= -130° The jet is curved. Its observations at the epoch 1992.9 show it to be in the course of a large burst, accompanied by several smaller ones. The strongest component has a flux of ~ 4.11 Jy (67% of the total detected flux), mostly from an area of 0.16× 0.01 mas. Doppler boosting is probably responsible for raising the brightness temperature up to 2.6× 1012 K.
