Jet Physics of Supermassive Black Hole Accretion Systems

这里支持的工作将分析来自Mojave(利用甚长基线阵列实验监测AGN中的喷流)计划的数据，该计划由多历元、亚毫弧秒分辨率的全偏振图像组成，其中包括已知的最亮的活动星系核(AGN)喷流的完整样本。这项工作将通过为大量明亮的伽马射线活动星系核提供关键的物理参数，加强即将到来的GLAST天文台任务的科学影响。现有的数据集将通过几个并行项目得到扩充，包括厘米波射电监测、X射线光谱和成像，以及有针对性的光学和TeV监测活动。这项工作的更广泛影响包括向天文学社区提供数据档案，以及对学生进行培训。

The effort supported here will analyze data from the MOJAVE (Monitoring Of Jets in AGN with Very Long Baseline Array Experiments) program, which consists of multi-epoch, submilliarcsecond-resolution full polarization images of a complete sample of the brightest known Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN)jets. The work will serve to enhance the scientific impact of the upcoming GLAST observatory mission, by providing key physical parameters for large numbers of bright gamma-ray AGN. The existing dataset will be augmented via several parallel programs, including centimeter-wave radio monitoring, X-ray spectra and imaging, and targeted optical and TeV monitoring campaigns.The broader impacts of this work include making the data archive available to the astronomical community, and training of students.
