- Fourth VLBA calibrator survey: VCS4
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/131/1872
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This paper presents the fourth extension to the VLBA Calibrator Survey, containing 258 new sources not previously observed with very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). This survey, based on three 24hr Very Long Baseline Array observing sessions, fills remaining areas on the sky above declination -40{deg} where the calibrator density is less than one source within a 4{deg} radius disk in any given direction. The share of these areas was reduced from 4.6% to 1.9%. Source positions were derived from astrometric analysis of group delays determined at 2.3 and 8.6GHz frequency bands using the Calc/Solve software package. The VCS4 catalog of source positions, plots of correlated flux density versus projected baseline length, contour plots, and fits files of naturally weighted CLEAN images, as well as calibrated visibility function files, are available online at http://vlbi.gsfc.nasa.gov/vcs4 .

- Description:
- Here, we present a catalogue of known Fast Radio Burst sources in the form of an online catalogue, FRBCAT. The catalogue includes information about the instrumentation used for the observations for each detected burst, the measured quantities from each observation, and model-dependent quantities derived from observed quantities. To aid in consistent comparisons of burst properties such as width and signal-to-noise ratios, we have re-processed all the bursts for which we have access to the raw data, with software which we make available. The originally derived properties are also listed for comparison.

- Description:
- Dynamical evolution models of 361 extragalactic Fanaroff-Riley type II radio sources selected from the Cambridge 3CRR, 6CE, 5C6, and 5C7 Sky Surveys, as well as the Bologna B2, Green Bank GB, and GB2 Surveys, are presented. Their spectra, compiled mostly from the recent catalogs of radio sources and the available NASA/IPAC and Astrophysical Catalogs Support System databases, along with morphological characteristics of the sources determined from their radio maps, have been modeled using the DYNAGE algorithm and/or its extension (KDA EXT) for the hypothetical case of further evolution after the jet's termination. The best-fit models provide estimates of a number of important physical parameters of the sources, as (i) the jet power, (ii) the density distribution of the external gaseous medium surrounding the radio core and the jet propagating through it, (iii) the initial energy distribution of the relativistic particles accelerated at the shock fronts, and (iv) the age of the observed radio structure. Additionally, estimates of some derivative parameters are provided, e.g., the radio lobes' pressure, their longitudinal expansion velocity, the magnetic field strength, and the total energy deposited in the lobes. The observed spectra and their best-fit models are included. Finally, one of the useful applications of the above models is presented, namely a strong correlation between the ambient medium density and the rest-frame two-point spectral index available directly from the observed spectra.

- Full-Stokes polarimetry of 5 radio sources

- Description:
- We present an analysis pipeline that enables the recovery of reliable information for all four Stokes parameters with high accuracy. Its novelty relies on the effective treatment of the instrumental effects even before the computation of the Stokes parameters, contrary to conventionally used methods such as that based on the Mueller matrix. For instance, instrumental linear polarization is corrected across the whole telescope beam and significant Stokes Q and U can be recovered even when the recorded signals are severely corrupted by instrumental effects. The accuracy we reach in terms of polarization degree is of the order of 0.1-0.2%. The polarization angles are determined with an accuracy of almost 1{def}. The presented methodology was applied to recover the linear and circular polarization of around 150 active galactic nuclei, which were monitored between July 2010 and April 2016 with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope at 4.85GHz and 8.35GHz with a median cadence of 1.2 months. The polarized emission of the Moon was used to calibrate the polarization angle measurements. Our analysis showed a small system-induced rotation of about 1{deg} at both observing frequencies. Over the examined period, five sources have significant and stable linear polarization; three sources remain constantly linearly unpolarized; and a total of 11 sources have stable circular polarization degree m_c_, four of them with non-zero m_c_. We also identify eight sources that maintain a stable polarization angle. All this is provided to the community for future polarization observations reference. We finally show that our analysis method is conceptually different from those traditionally used and performs better than the Mueller matrix method. Although it has been developed for a system equipped with circularly polarized feeds, it can easily be generalized to systems with linearly polarized feeds as well.

- Description:
- Hyper-compact (HC) or ultra-compact HII regions are the first manifestations of the radiation feedback from a newly born massive star. Therefore, their study is fundamental to understanding the process of massive (>=8M_{sun}_) star formation. We employed Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) 1.4mm Cycle 6 observations to investigate at high angular resolution (~0.050, corresponding to 330au) the HC HII region inside molecular core A1 of the high-mass star-forming cluster G24.78+0.08. We used the H30{alpha} emission and different molecular lines of CH_3_CN and ^13^CH_3_CN to study the kinematics of the ionized and molecular gas, respectively. At the center of the HC HII region, at radii <~500au, we observe two mutually perpendicular velocity gradients, which are directed along the axes at PA=39{deg} and PA=133{deg}, respectively. The velocity gradient directed along the axis at PA=39{deg} has an amplitude of 22km/s/mpc, which is much larger than the other;s, 3km/s/mpc. We interpret these velocity gradients as rotation around, and expansion along, the axis at PA=39{deg}. We propose a scenario where the H30{alpha} line traces the ionized heart of a disk-jet system that drives the formation of the massive star (~20M_{sun}_) responsible for the HC HII region. Such a scenario is also supported by the position-velocity plots of the CH_3_CN and ^13^CH_3_CN lines along the axis at PA=133{deg}, which are consistent with Keplerian rotation around a 20M_{sun}_ star. Toward the HC HII region in G24.78+0.08, the coexistence of mass infall (at radii of ~5000au), an outer molecular disk (from <~4000 au to >~500au), and an inner ionized disk (<~500au) indicates that the massive ionizing star is still actively accreting from its parental molecular core. To our knowledge, this is the first example of a molecular disk around a high-mass forming star that, while becoming internally ionized after the onset of the HII region, continues to accrete mass onto the ionizing star.

- Description:
- Using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), the low-frequency Square Kilometre Array (SKA1 LOW) precursor located in Western Australia, we have completed the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA (GLEAM) survey, and present the resulting extragalactic catalogue, utilising the first year of observations. The catalogue covers 24,402 square degrees, over declinations south of +30{deg} and Galactic latitudes outside 10{deg} of the Galactic plane, excluding some areas such as the Magellanic Clouds. It contains 307,456 radio sources with 20 separate flux density measurements across 72-231MHz, selected from a time- and frequency- integrated image centred at 200MHz, with a resolution of ~=2'. Over the catalogued region, we estimate that the catalogue is 90% complete at 170mJy, and 50% complete at 55mJy, and large areas are complete at even lower flux density levels. Its reliability is 99.97% above the detection threshold of 5{sigma}, which itself is typically 50mJy. These observations constitute the widest fractional bandwidth and largest sky area survey at radio frequencies to date, and calibrate the low frequency flux density scale of the southern sky to better than 10%. This paper presents details of the flagging, imaging, mosaicking, and source extraction/characterisation, as well as estimates of the completeness and reliability. All source measurements and images are available online. This is the first in a series of publications describing the GLEAM survey results.

- Description:
- We present observations of the region between |l|<=10{deg} and |b|<=3{deg} in the OH 1612.231MHz line, taken in 1993 October and November with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The region was systematically searched for OH/IR stars and was covered completely with 539 pointing centres separated by 30'. The size of the dataset calls for a special reduction technique that is fast, reliable and minimizes the output (positions and velocities of possible stars only). Having developed such a reduction method we found 307 OH masing objects, 145 of which are new detections. Out of these, 248 have a standard double-peaked spectral profile, 55 a single-peaked profile and 4 have nonstandard or irregular profiles. In this article we analyse the data statistically and give classifications and identifications with known sources where possible. The astrophysical, kinematical, morphological and dynamical properties of subsets of the data will be addressed in future articles. These observations are part of a larger survey, covering |l|<=45{deg} and |b|<=3{deg}, with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Very Large Array.

- Description:
- We have used the VLA to survey 10 fields at 20 cm (1658MHz) and 11 fields at 6 cm (5GHz) that are between 7' and 137' from SgrA*. Our objective was to identify extragalactic sources and measure their scattering diameters so as to constrain the GC-scattering region separation. In order to find sources within these fields, we have employed pdfCLEAN, a source detection algorithm in which sources are identified in an image by comparing the intensity histogram of the image to that expected from a noise-only image. We found over 100 sources, with the faintest sources being approximately 3 mJy. The average number of sources per field is approximately 10, though fields close to SgrA* tend to contain fewer sources. A number of Galactic sources are included in our source catalog. The double-lobed source 1LC 359.872+0.178, potentially an X-ray quiet version of 1E 1740.7-2942, a shell-like structure with a central point source, and a possible radio transient, are discussed in the paper.
