  5. A kinematic study of the compact jet in quasar B3 1633+382Y. Liu, D. R. Jiang, Z.-Q. Shen & M. Karouzos2010 A&A 14 epochs of VLBI observations of B3 1633+382 at 22 GHz with the VLBA two different possibilities of component classification two corresponding kinematical models are adopted to explain the tracks of the three components. One is a linear motion, while another is a helical model. FS QSO EGRET source z=1.814 OVV

  7. Multiwaveband VLBA polarimetric observations of NRAO530Chen, Shen, Feng, 2010,MNRAS Transverse Fractional Polarization (TFP): low in jet spine, high at edges Interpretation in helical magnetic fields: TFP: low in spine, high at edges (Lyutikov et al. 2005); Signature of bifurcation of EVPA at low and top Interpretation in magnetic compression and shear: Bottom and top EVPA: approximately parallel; Undetectable linear polarization in the middle (cancellation of emission from surface and deep magnetic) Color: Fractional Polarization Left contour: total intensity Right contour: linear intensity

  8. Multifrequency VLBA Polarimetry of GPS Quasar OQ172 A High-z Laboratory for Studies of the Circumnuclear Environment Y. Liu, D. R. Jiang, L. Gurvits & A. B. Fletcher in preparation What is the GPS absorption mechanism? (FFA or SSA) Why is the jet strongly bent and curved, and how do physical properties vary along its length? Which is the core? What is the magnetic field topology? And why is the RM extremely high, and the inner jet depolarized? 0642+449 z=3.396 0201+113 z=3.639 multiband VLBA polarimetry observation 3 VSOP images for high-z GPS High-z GPS (FFA/SSA) the jet suffers a large band at ～3 mas the most compact region in the 4 mas map was resolved into two components extremely high rest-frame RM (RM>20,000 rad m-2) very steep RM gradient (at7 mas, RM<100 rad m-2) Hβ FWHM 3,700 kms-1 3x108M⊙ [O III] FWHM 2,200 kms-1 OQ172 z=3.522

  9. Studies of red supergiant SiO masers with the VLBA • VX Sgr；3-epoch VLBA data at 1999 1999 Apr. 24 1999 May. 23 1999 Apr. 31 • Our observations provide the first direct evidence for an inward motion of SiO-maser shell around a red supergiant. Proper motion Chen, Shen, Imai & Kamohara 2006, ApJ • The estimated distance of1.57± 0.27 kpc to VX Sgr from the “statistical parallax” analysis to proper motions of SiO masers. Φ=0.75-0.80 Vinfall=4.1 km/s Chen, Shen & Xu 2007, ChJAA

  10. Studies of red supergiant SiO masers with the VLBA • AH Sco; 2-epoch VLBA data • Chen & Shen 2008, ApJ 2004 Mar. 8 2004 Mar. 20 Model fitting: Proper motion Best-fit model for the SiO maser kinematics in AH Sco • V1=-14 km s-1 and α~0.5support the presence of a real inward flow in the SiO maser region around AH Sco under the gravitation of the central star . • The estimated distance d=2.26 kpc from the model fitting is in a good agreement with its near kinematic distance of about 2.0 kpc.
