A new compilation of $120$ angular-size/redshift data for compact radio quasars from very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) surveys motivates us to revisit the interaction between dark energy and dark matter with these probes reaching high redshifts $zsim 3.0$. In this paper, we investigate observational constraints on different phenomenological interacting dark energy (IDE) models with the intermediate-luminosity radio quasars acting as individual standard rulers, combined with the newest BAO and CMB observation from Planck results acting as statistical rulers. The results obtained from the MCMC method and other statistical methods including Figure of Merit and Information Criteria show that: (1) Compared with the current standard candle data and standard clock data, the intermediate-luminosity radio quasar standard rulers , probing much higher redshifts, could provide comparable constraints on different IDE scenarios. (2) The interaction between dark energy and dark matter seems to be vanishing or slightly smaller than zero. At the 68.3% confidence level, the energy is seen transferred from dark matter to dark energy, which implies that those IDE models can not alleviate the coincidence problem or even more sever. However, the strong degeneracies between the interaction term and Hubble constant may contribute to alleviate the tension of $H_0$ between the recent Planck and HST measurements. (3) Concerning the ranking of competing dark energy models, IDE with more free parameters are substantially penalized by the BIC criterion, which agrees very well with the previous results derived from other cosmological probes.

In this paper, we use multi-frequency angular size measurements of 58 intermediate-luminosity quasars reaching the redshifts $zsim 3$ and demonstrate that they can be used as standard rulers for cosmological inference. Our results indicate that, for
the majority of radio-sources in our sample their angular sizes are inversely proportional to the observing frequency. From the physical point of view it means that opacity of the jet is governed by pure synchrotron self-absorption, i.e. external absorption does not play any significant role in the observed angular sizes at least up to 43 GHz. Therefore, we use the value of the intrinsic metric size of compact milliarcsecond radio quasars derived in a cosmology independent manner from survey conducted at 2 GHz and rescale it properly according to predictions of the conical jet model. This approach turns out to work well and produce quite stringent constraints on the matter density parameter $Omega_m$ in the flat $Lambda$CDM model and Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati braneworld model. The results presented in this paper pave the way for the follow up engaging multi-frequency VLBI observations of more compact radio quasars with higher sensitivity and angular resolution.
In this paper, we place constraints on four alternative cosmological models under the assumption of the spatial flatness of the Universe: CPL, EDE, GCG and MPC. A new compilation of 120 compact radio quasars observed by very-long-baseline interferome
try, which represents a type of new cosmological standard rulers, are used to test these cosmological models. Our results show that the fits on CPL obtained from the quasar sample are well consistent with those obtained from BAO. For other cosmological models considered, quasars provide constraints in agreement with those derived with other standard probes at $1sigma$ confidence level. Moreover, the results obtained from other statistical methods including Figure of Merit, $Om(z)$ and statefinder diagnostics indicate that: (1) Radio quasar standard ruler could provide better statistical constraints than BAO for all cosmological models considered, which suggests its potential to act as a powerful complementary probe to BAO and galaxy clusters. (2) Turning to $Om(z)$ diagnostics, CPL, GCG and EDE models can not be distinguished from each other at the present epoch. (3) In the framework of statefinder diagnostics, MPC and EDE will deviate from $rm{Lambda}$CDM model in the near future, while GCG model cannot be distinguished from $rm{Lambda}$CDM model unless much higher precision observations are available.
In this paper, we present a new compiled milliarcsecond compact radio data set of 120 intermediate-luminosity quasars in the redshift range $0.46< z <2.76$. These quasars show negligible dependence on redshifts and intrinsic luminosity, and thus repr
esents, in the standard model of cosmology, a fixed comoving-length of standard ruler. We implement a new cosmology-independent technique to calibrate the linear size of of this standard ruler as $l_m= 11.03pm0.25$ pc, which is the typical radius at which AGN jets become opaque at the observed frequency $ usim 2$ GHz. In the framework of flat $Lambda$CDM model, we find a high value of the matter density parameter, $Omega_m=0.322^{+0.244}_{-0.141}$, and a low value of the Hubble constant, $H_0=67.6^{+7.8}_{-7.4}; rm{kms}^{-1}rm{Mpc}^{-1}$, which is in excellent agreement with the CMB anisotropy measurements by textit{Planck}. We obtain ${Omega_m}=0.309^{+0.215}_{-0.151}$, $w=-0.970^{+0.500}_{-1.730}$ at 68.3% CL for the constant $w$ of a dynamical dark-energy model, which demonstrates no significant deviation from the concordance $Lambda$CDM model. Consistent fitting results are also obtained for other cosmological models explaining the cosmic acceleration, like Ricci dark energy (RDE) or Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) brane-world scenario. While no significant change in $w$ with redshift is detected, there is still considerable room for evolution in $w$ and the transition redshift at which $w$ departing from -1 is located at $zsim 2.0$. Our results demonstrate that the method extensively investigated in our work on observational radio quasar data can be used to effectively derive cosmological information. Finally, we find the combination of high-redshift quasars and low-redshift clusters may provide an important source of angular diameter distances, considering the redshift coverage of these two astrophysical probes.
Although the Hubble constant $H_0$ and spatial curvature $Omega_{K}$ have been measured with very high precision, they still suffer from some tensions. In this paper, we propose an improved method to combine the observations of ultra-compact structur
e in radio quasars and strong gravitational lensing with quasars acting as background sources to determine $H_0$ and $Omega_{K}$ simultaneously. By applying the distance sum rule to the time-delay measurements of 7 strong lensing systems and 120 intermediate-luminosity quasars calibrated as standard rulers, we obtain stringent constraints on the Hubble constant ($H_0=78.3pm2.9 mathrm{~km~s^{-1}~Mpc^{-1}}$) and the cosmic curvature ($Omega_K=0.49pm0.24$). On the one hand, in the framework of a flat universe, the measured Hubble constant ($H_0=73.6^{+1.8}_{-1.6} mathrm{~km~s^{-1}~Mpc^{-1}}$) is strongly consistent with that derived from the local distance ladder, with a precision of 2%. On the other hand, if we use the local $H_0$ measurement as a prior, our results are marginally compatible with zero spatial curvature ($Omega_K=0.23^{+0.15}_{-0.17}$) and there is no significant deviation from a flat universe. Finally, we also evaluate whether strongly lensed quasars would produce robust constraints on $H_0$ and $Omega_{K}$ in the non-flat and flat $Lambda$CDM model if the compact radio structure measurements are available from VLBI observations.
Faraday rotation measures (RMs) of extragalactic radio sources provide information on line-of-sight magnetic fields, including contributions from our Galaxy, source environments, and the intergalactic medium (IGM). Looking at differences in RMs, $Del
ta$RM, between adjacent sources on the sky can help isolate these different components. In this work, we classify adjacent polarized sources in the NVSS as random or physical pairs. We recompute and correct the uncertainties in the NVSS RM catalog, since these were significantly overestimated. Our sample contains 317 physical and 5111 random pairs, all with Galactic latitudes $|b|ge20^{circ}$, polarization fractions $ge2%$, and angular separations between $1.^{},$ and $20^{}$. We find an rms $Delta$RM of $14.9pm0.4,$rad m$^{-2}$ and $4.6pm1.1,$rad m$^{-2}$ for random and physical pairs, respectively. This means polarized extragalactic sources that are close on the sky, but at different redshifts, have larger differences in RM than two components of one source. This difference of $sim10,$rad m$^{-2}$ is significant at $5sigma$, and persists in different data subsamples. While there have been other statistical studies of $Delta$RM between adjacent polarized sources, this is the first unambiguous demonstration that some of this RM difference must be extragalactic, thereby providing a firm upper limit on the RM contribution of the IGM. If the $Delta$RMs originate local to the sources, then the local magnetic field difference between random sources is a factor of two larger than between components of one source. Alternatively, attributing the difference in $Delta$RMs to the intervening IGM yields an upper limit on the IGM magnetic field strength of $40,$nG.
