Compact bright radio-loud AGNs. III. VLBA 43GHz
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present the results from the 43GHz Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of 124 compact radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that were conducted between 2014 November and 2016 May.
Description
The typical dimensions of the restoring beam in each image are about 0.5masx0.2mas. The highest resolution of 0.2mas corresponds to a physical size of 0.02pc for the lowest redshift source in the sample.
The 43GHz very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) images of 97 AGNs are presented for the first time. We study the source compactness on milliarcsecond and submilliarcsecond scales, and suggest that 95 sources in our sample are suitable for future space VLBI observations. By analyzing our data supplemented with other VLBA AGN surveys from the literature, we find that the core brightness temperature increases with increasing frequency below a break frequency ~7GHz, and decreases between ~7 and 240GHz but increases again above 240GHz in the rest frame of the sources.

This indicates that the synchrotron opacity changes from optically thick to thin. We also find a strong statistical correlation between radio and {gamma}-ray flux densities. Our correlation is tighter than those in the literature derived from lower-frequency VLBI data, suggesting that the {gamma}-ray emission is produced more cospatially with the 43GHz VLBA core emission.
This correlation can also be extrapolated to the unbeamed AGN population, implying that a universal {gamma}-ray production mechanism might be at work for all types of AGNs.
