The relativistic jet in M87 offers a unique opportunity for understanding the detailed jet structure and emission processes due to its proximity. In particular, the peculiar jet region HST-1 at ~1 arcsecond (or 80 pc, projected) from the nucleus has attracted a great deal of interest in the last decade because of its superluminal motion and broadband radio-to-X-ray outbursts, which may be further connected to the gamma-ray productions up to TeV energies. Over the last five years, we have been doing an intensive monitoring of HST-1 with EVN at 5GHz in order to examine the detailed structural evolution and its possible connection to high-energy activities. While this program already yielded interesting results in terms of the detailed mas-scale structure, proper motion measurements and structural variations, the recent HST-1 brightness is continuously decreasing at this frequency. To counter this, we have shifted our monitoring frequency to 1.7GHz from October 2013. This strategy successfully recovered the fainter emission that was missed in the last 5GHz session. Moreover, we again discovered the sudden emergence of a new component at the upstream edge of HST-1, demonstrating that the use of EVN 1.7GHz is indeed powerful to probe the current weak nature of HST-1. Here we report early results from the 1.7GHz monitoring as well as further progress on the long-term kinematic study.
To obtain a better understanding of the location and mechanisms for the production of the gamma-ray emission in jets of AGN we present a detailed study of the HST-1 structure, 0.8 arcsec downstream the jet of M87, previously identified as a possible
We investigate the total flux density, spectral, polarization, and Faraday rotation variability of HST-1 in the M87 jet during the outburst from 2003 to 2007 through multi-epoch VLA observations at 8, 15, and 22 GHz. Contrary to the general case for
A bright feature 80 pc away from the core in the powerful jet of M87 shows highly unusual properties. Earlier radio, optical and X-ray observations have shown that this feature, labeled HST-1, is superluminal, and is possibly connected with the TeV f
We present new ultraviolet photometry of the jet in M87 obtained from HST WFPC2 imaging. We combine these ultraviolet data with previously published photometry for the knots of the jet in radio, optical, and X-ray, and fit three theoretical synchrotr
