- Description:
- We present the results of new radio observations carried out with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array C-configuration at 5.5GHz for a sample of southern narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s). This work increases the number of known radio-detected NLS1s in the southern hemisphere, and confirms that the radio emission of NLS1s is mainly concentrated in a central region at kpc-scale and only a few sources show diffuse emission. In radio-quiet NLS1s, the radio luminosity tends to be higher in steep-spectrum sources and be lower in flat-spectrum sources, which is opposite to radio-loud NLS1s. This may be because the radio emission of steep NLS1s is dominated by misaligned jets, AGN-driven outflows, or star formation superposing on a compact core. Instead the radio emission of flat NLS1s may be produced by a central core which has not yet developed radio jets and outflows. We discover new NLS1s harboring kpc-scale radio jets and confirm that a powerful jet does not require a large-mass black hole to be generated. We also find sources dominated by star formation. These NLS1s could be new candidates in investigating the radio emission of different mechanisms.

- Description:
- We have used the VLA to survey the fields of the three clusters of galaxies; 0016+16, Abell 665 (0826+66) and Abell 2218 (1635+66) at 1440 MHz, 4860 MHz, and 14940 MHz (for the brighter sources). The survey was aimed at finding radio sources which might contaminate the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. We have detected 86 sources in these three clusters and examined Palomar sky survey prints for possible optical identifications.

- Description:
- We present the analysis of the radio jet evolution of the radio galaxy 3C 120 during a period of prolonged {gamma}-ray activity detected by the Fermi satellite between 2012 December and 2014 October. We find a clear connection between the {gamma}-ray and radio emission, such that every period of {gamma}-ray activity is accompanied by the flaring of the millimeter very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) core and subsequent ejection of a new superluminal component. However, not all ejections of components are associated with {gamma}-ray events detectable by Fermi. Clear {gamma}-ray detections are obtained only when components are moving in a direction closer to our line of sight. This suggests that the observed {gamma}-ray emission depends not only on the interaction of moving components with the millimeter VLBI core, but also on their orientation with respect to the observer. Timing of the {gamma}-ray detections and ejection of superluminal components locate the {gamma}-ray production to within ~0.13pc from the millimeter VLBI core, which was previously estimated to lie about 0.24pc from the central black hole. This corresponds to about twice the estimated extension of the broad line region, limiting the external photon field and therefore suggesting synchrotron self Compton as the most probable mechanism for the production of the {gamma}-ray emission. Alternatively, the interaction of components with the jet sheath can provide the necessary photon field to produced the observed {gamma}-rays by Compton scattering.

- Description:
- We present simultaneous dual-frequency Very Long Baseline Array 2 and 8 GHz observations of 225 of the 560 extragalactic sources for which positions were reported by Johnston and coworkers and which are now part of the International Celestial Reference Frame. These observations represent the third and final in a series of observations intended to obtain single-epoch images of the entire set of sources presented by Johnston and coworkers (1995, Cat. <J/AJ/110/880>) and, together with previously reported observations, bring the total number of sources observed to 389. As with previous papers in this series, we use these data to quantify the magnitude of the expected effect of intrinsic source structure on astrometric bandwidth synthesis Very Long Baseline Interferometry observations and to calculate a source "structure index" for the observed sources. The structure index can be used as an estimate of the astrometric quality of the sources. Based on this indicator, correlations between the observed radio structure and the astrometric position accuracy and stability of the sources have been found. These correlations indicate that the more extended sources have larger position uncertainties and are less positionally stable than the more compact sources.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present Very Long Baseline Array observations and a statistical analysis of 5GHz VLBI polarimetry data from 177 sources in the Caltech-Jodrell Bank Flat-Spectrum (CJF) survey. The CJF survey, a complete, flux density-limited sample of 293 extragalactic radio sources, gives us the unique opportunity to compare a broad range of source properties for quasars, galaxies, and BL Lacertae objects. We focus primarily on jet properties, specifically, the correlation between the jet axis angle and the polarization angle in the core and jet. A strong correlation is found for the electric vector polarization angle in the cores of quasars to be perpendicular to the jet axis. Contrary to previous claims, no correlation is found between the jet polarization angle and the jet axis in either quasars or BL Lac objects. With this large, homogeneous sample we are also able to investigate cosmological issues and active galactic nucleus evolution.

- Description:
- The VSOP mission is a Japanese-led project to image radio sources with sub-milliarcsec resolution by correlating the signal from the orbiting 8-m telescope, HALCA, with a global array of telescopes. Twenty- five percent of the scientific time of this mission is devoted to a survey of 402 bright, small-diameter extra-galactic radio sources at 5-GHz. The major goals of the VSOP Survey are statistical in nature: to determine the brightness temperature and approximate structure; to provide a source list for use with future space VLBI missions; and to compare radio properties with other data throughout the EM spectrum. This paper describes: the compilation of a complete list of radio sources associated with active galactic nuclei (AGN); the selection of the subsample of sources to be observed with VSOP; the extensive ground resources used for the Survey; the status of the observations as of 2000 July; the data-analysis methods; and several examples of results from the VSOP Survey. More detailed results from the full sample will be given in future papers.

- Description:
- We have imaged with milliarcsecond resolution at 5 GHz 374 strong flat-spectrum radio sources north of declination -44{deg} using the VLBA in 1996 June. The source sample was compiled from the source list for the VLBI Space Observatory Programme (VSOP) Survey Program. About 250 of the sources observed with the VLBA had correlated flux densities >=0.3 Jy on the longest VLBA baseline and these sources are currently being observed with VSOP at 5 GHz. This paper presents the results from the VLBA prelaunch observations: the correlated flux density dependence with u-v distance; the contour display of the images; the model fit parameters for each radio component; and improved positions for 62 sources. Comparisons and extensive cross-referencing with other major VLBI surveys are also given.

- Description:
- We use observations made with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) to probe the neutral hydrogen (HI) gas content of field galaxies in the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) 14h field at z~=0.32. Because the HI emission from individual galaxies is too faint to detect at this redshift, we use an HI spectral stacking technique using the known optical positions and redshifts of the 165 galaxies in our sample to co-add their HI spectra and thus obtain the average HI mass of the galaxies. Stacked HI measurements of 165 galaxies show that >~95 per cent of the neutral gas is found in blue, star-forming galaxies. Among these galaxies, those having lower stellar mass are more gas rich than more massive ones. We apply a volume correction to our HI measurement to evaluate the HI gas density at z~=0.32 as {OMETA}_HI_=(0.50+/-0.18)x10^-3^ in units of the cosmic critical density. This value is in good agreement with previous results at z<0.4, suggesting no evolution in the neutral hydrogen gas density over the last ~4Gyr. However the z~=0.32 gas density is lower than that at z~5 by at least a factor of two.

- Description:
- From a comparison of the different parameters of warped galaxies in the radio, and especially in the visible, we find that: a) No large galaxy (large mass or radius) has been found to have high amplitude in the warp, and there is no correlation of size/mass with the degree of asymmetry of the warp. b) The disc density and the ratio of dark to luminous mass show an opposing trend: smaller values give more asymmetric warps in the inner radii (optical warps) but show no correlation with the amplitude of the warp; however, in the external radii is there no correlation with asymmetry. c) A third anticorrelation appears in a comparison of the amplitude and degree of asymmetry in the warped galaxies. Hence, it seems that very massive dark matter haloes have nothing to do with the formation of warps but only with the degree of symmetry in the inner radii, and are unrelated to the warp shape for the outermost radii. Denser discs show the same dependence.

- Description:
- We present physical properties of radio galaxies (RGs) with f_1.4GHz_>1mJy discovered by Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) and Very Large Array Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-Centimeters (FIRST) survey. For 1056 FIRST RGs at 0<z<=1.7 with HSC counterparts in about 100deg^2^, we compiled multi-wavelength data of optical, near-infrared (IR), mid-IR, far-IR, and radio (150MHz). We derived their color excess (E(B-V)_*_), stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), IR luminosity, the ratio of IR and radio luminosity (q_IR_), and radio spectral index ({alpha}_radio_) that are derived from the spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting with CIGALE. We also estimated Eddington ratio based on stellar mass and integration of the best-fit SEDs of active galactic nucleus (AGN) component. We found that E(B-V)_*_, SFR, and IR luminosity clearly depend on redshift while stellar mass, q_IR_, and {alpha}_radio_ do not significantly depend on redshift. Since optically faint (i_AB_>=21.3) RGs that are newly discovered by our RG survey tend to be high redshift, they tend to not only have a large dust extinction and low stellar mass but also have high SFR and AGN luminosity, high IR luminosity, and high Eddington ratio compared with optically bright ones. The physical properties of a fraction of RGs in our sample seem to differ from a classical view of RGs with massive stellar mass, low SFR, and low Eddington ratio, demonstrating that our RG survey with HSC and FIRST provides us curious RGs among entire RG population.
