- Description:
- This is the second in a series of papers presenting VLBI observations of the 293 Caltech-Jodrell Bank Flat-spectrum (hereafter CJF) sources and their analysis. We obtain a consistent motion dataset large enough to allow the systematic properties of the population to be studied. We present detailed kinematic analysis of the complete flux-density limited CJF survey. We computed 2-D kinematic models based on the optimal model-fitting parameters of multi-epoch VLBA observations. This allows us to calculate not only radial, but also orthogonal motions, and thus to study curvature and acceleration. Statistical tests of the motions measured and their reliability were performed. A correlation analysis between the derived apparent motions, luminosities, spectral indices, and core dominance and the resulting consequences is described. With at least one velocity in each of the 237 sources, this sample is much larger than any available before, so it allows a meaning ful statistical investigation of apparent motions and any possible correlations with other parameters in AGN jets. The main results to emerge are as follows: * In general motions are not consistent with a single uniform velocity applicable to all components along a jet. * We find a slight trend towards a positive outward acceleration and also adduce some evidence for greater acceleration in the innermost regions. * We find a lack of fast components at physical distances less than a few pc from the reference feature. * Only ~4% of the components from galaxies and <2% of those from quasars undergo large bends i.e. within 15{deg} of +/-90{deg}. * The distribution of radial velocities shows a broad distribution of velocities (apparent velocities up to 30c). Fifteen percent of the best-sampled jet components exhibit low velocities that may need to be explained in a different manner to the fast motions. * Some negative superluminal motions are seen, and in 15 cases (6%) these are definitely significant. * We find a strong correlation between the 5 GHz luminosity and the apparent velocity. * The CJF galaxies, on average, show slower apparent jet-component velocities than the quasars. * The mean velocity in the VLBA 2cm survey (Kellermann et al. 2004) is substantially higher than in the CJF survey, the ratio could be roughly a factor of 1.5-2. This supports the observed trend toward increasing apparent velocity with in creasing observing frequency. This AGN survey provides the basis for any statistical analysis of jet and jet-component properties.

- Description:
- Global VLBI and VLBA observations (5GHz) of 293 sources of the CJF-sample have been conducted between 1990 and 2001. In total, thirteen separate observing campaigns have been accumulated. File table2.dat contains results from model-fitting Gaussian components to the data. We list the parameters for 288 sources in Table 2. fig directory contains the corresponding images, built up by restoring the model-fitted components, convolved with the clean beam, into the residual image, which was made by Fourier transforming the visibility data after first subtracting the model-fitted components in the uv-plane. Over-plotted we show symbols to represent the model components.

- Multifrequency observations of 9C sources
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We have used multifrequency follow-up observations of a sample of extragalactic sources from the 9C survey at 15GHz to make deductions about the expected source population at higher radio frequencies, such as those in the lower frequency bands of the Planck Surveyor satellite. In particular, we have made empirical estimates of the source counts at 22, 30, 43 and 70GHz and compared these with both known data and current theoretical predictions. We have also made an estimate of the count at the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) frequency of 90GHz, with a view to assessing the possible population of point sources available for the phase calibration of that instrument.

- Description:
- We report on results of multifrequency radio continuum observations with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope of 234 radio sources which have counterparts in the ROSAT all-sky survey. Observations have been made at 21 cm, 11 cm, 6 cm and 2.8 cm wavelength in the flux density range above 20 mJy. We have determined the spectrum, size, linear polarization and improved positions of these sources. We give the statistical properties of the ROSAT selected radio sources and compare them with results from unbiased radio source surveys so far available.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Polarimetric observations of 300 pulsars have been conducted with the 76-m Lovell telescope at Jodrell Bank at radio frequencies centred around 230, 400, 600, 920, 1400 and 1600MHz. More than half of the pulsars have no previously published polarization profiles and this compilation represents about three times the sum of all previously published pulsar polarization data. A selection of integrated polarization profiles is provided. Tables of pulse widths and the degree of both linear and circular polarization are given for all pulsars, and these act as an index for all the data, which are available by anonymous ftp in numerical and graphical form.

- Description:
- High-energy {gamma}-rays, which are produced by powerful relativistic jets, are usually associated with blazars and radio galaxies. In the current active galactic nuclei (AGN) paradigm, such jets are almost exclusively launched from massive elliptical galaxies. Recently, however, Fermi/LAT detected {gamma}-rays from a few narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies and thus confirmed the presence of relativistic jets in them. Since NLS1 galaxies are assumed to be young evolving AGN, they offer a unique opportunity to study the production of relativistic jets in late-type galaxies. Our aim is to estimate by which processes the emission of various kinds is produced in NLS1 galaxies and to study how emission properties are connected to other intrinsic AGN properties. We have compiled the so far largest multiwavelength database of NLS1 sources. This allowed us to explore correlations between different wavebands and source properties using, for example, Pearson and Spearman correlations and principal component analysis. We did this separately for radio-loud and radio-quiet sources.

- Short Name:

- Description:
- We have observed CS and C^34^S emission towards 33 H_2_O maser positions in the southern sky ({delta}<-28deg) using the SEST telescope. Most of the sources were selected also for their association with strong IRAS sources. CS(2-1) was detected in all sources, with the possible exception of two. Most sources were also mapped in the transitions CS(5-4) and C^34^S(2-1) and half of the sample also in CS(2-1). CS and C^34^S transitions J=2-1, J=3-2 J=5-4 were measured towards the centres of the clouds as determined from the mapping. CS and C^34^S transitions J=7-6 were measured in about a half dozen clouds. CO(1-0) was measured in most clouds in order to determine the kinetic temperatures. The CS column densities were calculated using the LTE approximation. All measurements were also analyzed using a spherical LVG model. We present the observational data and the results of this analysis.

- Multiwavelength luminosities of galaxies
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/586/794

- Publisher:

- Description:
- I have assembled a diverse sample of galaxies from the literature with far-ultraviolet (FUV), optical, infrared (IR), and radio luminosities to explore the calibration of radio-derived and IR-derived star formation (SF) rates and the origin of the radio-IR correlation. By comparing the 8-1000{mu}m IR, which samples dust-reprocessed starlight, with direct stellar FUV emission, I show that the IR traces most of the SF in luminous ~L* galaxies but traces only a small fraction of the SF in faint ~0.01L* galaxies. If radio emission were a perfect SF rate indicator, this effect would cause easily detectable curvature in the radio-IR correlation. Yet, the radio-IR correlation is nearly linear. This implies that the radio flux from low-luminosity galaxies is substantially suppressed, compared to brighter galaxies. This is naturally interpreted in terms of a decreasing efficiency of nonthermal radio emission in faint galaxies. Thus, the linearity of the radio-IR correlation is a conspiracy: both indicators underestimate the SF rate at low luminosities. SF rate calibrations that take into account this effect are presented, along with estimates of the random and systematic error associated with their use.

- Multiwavelength obs. of gamma-ray NOVA Sco 2012
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/852/108
- Date:

- Description:
- It has recently been discovered that some, if not all, classical novae emit GeV gamma-rays during outburst, but the mechanisms involved in the production of gamma-rays are still not well understood. We present here a comprehensive multiwavelength data set-from radio to X-rays-for the most gamma-ray-luminous classical nova to date, V1324 Sco. Using this data set, we show that V1324 Sco is a canonical dusty FeII-type nova, with a maximum ejecta velocity of 2600km/s and an ejecta mass of a few x10^-5^M_{sun}_. There is also evidence for complex shock interactions, including a double-peaked radio light curve which shows high brightness temperatures at early times. To explore why V1324 Sco was so gamma-ray luminous, we present a model of the nova ejecta featuring strong internal shocks and find that higher gamma-ray luminosities result from higher ejecta velocities and/or mass-loss rates. Comparison of V1324 Sco with other gamma-ray-detected novae does not show clear signatures of either, and we conclude that a larger sample of similarly well-observed novae is needed to understand the origin and variation of gamma-rays in novae.
