May 15, 2013We conducted the first multi-frequency polarimetric imaging of four broad<br /> absorption line (BAL) quasars using Very Long Baseline Array at milli-arcsecond<br /> resolutions to investigate the inclination of the non-thermal jet and test the<br /> hypothesis that radio sources in BAL quasars are still young. Among these four<br /> sources, J0928+446, J1018+0530, and J1405+4056 show one-sided structures in<br /> parsec scales, and polarized emission detected in the core. These<br /> characteristics are consistent with those of blazars. We set constraints on<br /> viewing angles to $<$66 deg for these jets, in the framework of a Doppler<br /> beaming effect. J1159+0112 exhibits an unpolarized gigahertz peaked spectrum<br /> component and several discrete blobs with steep spectra on both sides of the<br /> central component across $\sim$1 kpc. These properties are consistent with<br /> those of young radio sources. We discuss the structures of jets and AGN wind.

Jun 15, 2011The nearby low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (LLAGN) NGC 4258 has a weak<br /> radio continuum emission at the galactic center. Quasi-simultaneous<br /> multi-frequency observations using the Very Large Array (VLA) from 5 GHz (6 cm)<br /> to 22 GHz (1.3 cm) showed inverted spectra in all epochs, which were<br /> intra-month variable, as well as complicated spectral features that cannot be<br /> represented by a simple power law, indicating multiple blobs in nuclear jets.<br /> Using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array (NMA), we discovered a large amplitude<br /> variable emission at 100 GHz (3 mm), which had higher flux densities at most<br /> epochs than those of the VLA observations. A James Clerk Maxwell Telescope<br /> (JCMT) observation at 347 GHz (850 micron) served an upper limit of dust<br /> contamination. The inverted radio spectrum of the nucleus NGC 4258 is<br /> suggestive of an analogy to our Galactic center Sgr A*, but with three orders<br /> of magnitude higher radio luminosity. In addition to the LLAGN M 81, we discuss<br /> the nucleus of NGC 4258 as another up-scaled version of Sgr A*.

IEICE technical report, 109(1) 1-5, Apr 2, 2009We developed off-set Cassegrain antenna optical system and 8GHz band receiver for the ASTRO-G/VSOP-2 satellite. That is second generation satellite for the Space VLBI project, which is combing radio telescopes on the earth and the satellite. There are 43,22,8GHz band feed horns at Cassegrain focus. Feed horn of this satellite must have low cross polarization characteristic and small size. Multimode horn satisfies this conditions and have advantage in fabrication, which is short axial length and have simple wall. We introduce the Cassegrain antenna optical system with multimode horn and the 8GHz band receiver.

Astrophys.J.648:148-157,2006, May 12, 2006We present a study of the kinematic and spectral ages of the Gigahertz-Peaked<br /> Spectrum (GPS) source CTD~93. Measurements of the hot spot separation over 8.5<br /> yr show evidence of an increase. The separation rate along the source axis is<br /> 0.34$\pm0.11c$ (H$_{0}$=72 km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$), which results in a<br /> kinematic age of 2200$\pm$700 yr. Assuming that two hot spots are moving apart<br /> at equal speeds, we derive an advance speed of 0.17$\pm0.06c$. The radio lobe<br /> spectra show a high frequency steepening, as expected if energetic electrons<br /> lose energy by synchrotron radiation. The spectral break decreases with the<br /> distance from the hot spot in the northern component of CTD~93. This tendency<br /> is expected from the basic scenario of radio lobe evolution involving particle<br /> acceleration at the hot spots, with the radio lobes populated by high energy<br /> electrons which have leaked from the hot spots. Although a core-jet morphology<br /> for CTD~93 has previously been proposed, these results indicate that the<br /> morphology is similar to that of Compact Symmetric Object (CSO). From the<br /> spectral fits in the northern component we found a break frequency of 3.7 GHz<br /> at the edge of the lobe. The resultant spectral age is $\sim$300 yr assuming<br /> the equipartition magnetic field. This requires the advance speed of 0.26$c$,<br /> which shows a good agreement of the hot spot motion of 0.17$\pm0.06c$. Our<br /> results strongly support the hypothesis that CSOs are young radio sources.

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 60 1069-1075We present the proper motions of H2O masers in NML Cygni, observed with the Japanese VLBI Network at three epochs spanning 455 d. We detected about 15 maser features at each epoch. Overall, 13 features that were detected at least twice were tracked by their radial velocities and proper motions. The three-dimensional kinematics of the maser features indicate the presence of an expanding outflow. The major axis of the outflow is estimated to be at a position angle of ∼ 108°, and an inclination angle of ∼ 8° with respect to the line of sight. The H2O masers are located between an apparent minimum radius of ∼ 9.6 × 1012 m (64 AU) and a maximum radius of ∼ 3.0 × 1013 m (202AU), where the expansion velocity increases from 12 to 27 km s-1. A comparison with the distributions of SiO, H2O, and OH masers suggests that the outflow of NML Cygni is expanding outside a radius of ∼ 1.5 × 10 13 m (100 AU). This radius corresponds to 6 stellar radii, and is consistent with the radius of the inner boundary for the dust shell. © 2008. Astronomical Society of Japan.
