We have conducted VLBI observations of water maser and radio continuum emission in the nucleus of NGC 3079. The 22 GHz maser emission arises in compact clumps, distributed along an axis that is aligned with the major axis of the galactic disk. The velocities of the masers are consistent with their lying in the inner parsec of a molecular disk rotating in the same sense as the rest of the galaxy. However, the velocity field has a significant non-rotational component, which may indicate supersonic turbulence. The bright maser emission is not coincident with any detected compact 22 GHz continuum source, suggesting the high apparent luminosity of the maser may not due to beamed amplification of continuum emission. We observed two compact continuum sources that have inverted spectra between 5 and 8 GHz, and steep spectra between 8 and 22 GHz. NGC 3079 may be a nearby, low-luminosity example of the class of compact symmetric gigahertz-peaked spectrum (GPS) radio sources. We detected a third continuum component that lies along the same axis as the other two, strongly suggesting that this galaxy possesses a nuclear jet. Faint maser emission was detected near this axis, which may indicate a second population of masers associated with the jet.
We report on the location of the gamma-ray emission region in flares of the BL Lacertae object OJ287 at >14pc from the central supermassive black hole. We employ data from multi-spectral range (total flux and linear polarization) monitoring programs
We present the results of observations of 22GHz H2O maser emission in NGC 6240 and M51 made with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. Two major H2O maser features and several minor features are detected toward the southern nucleus of NGC 6240. These
We report on annual parallax and proper motion observations of H2O masers in S235AB-MIR, which is a massive young stellar object in the Perseus Arm. Using multi-epoch VLBI astrometry we measured a parallax of pi = 0.63 +- 0.03 mas, corresponding to a
We report the detection of a 22GHz water maser line in the nearest (D~3.8Mpc) radio galaxy Centaurus A using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The line is centered at a velocity of ~960kms-1, which is redshifted by about 400kms-1 from the
We present Very Long Baseline Array observations of the kinematics of the water masers associated with OH 12.8-0.9, the fourth member of the so-called water fountain class of sources. We find that the masers occupy two distinct regions at the ends of
