英文摘要 | High-resolution observations of high-redshift (z>4) radio quasars offer a unique insight into jet kinematics at early cosmological epochs, as well as constraints on cosmological model parameters. Due to the general weakness of extremely distant objects and the apparently slow structural changes caused by cosmological time dilation, only a couple of high-redshift quasars (HRQs) have been studied with parsec-scale resolutions, and with limited number of observing epochs. Here we report on very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of a high-redshift blazar J1430 + 4204 (z=4.72) in the 8 GHz frequency band at five different epochs spanning 22 years. The source shows a compact core–jet structure with two jet components being identified within 3 milli-arcsecond (mas) scale. The long time span and multiple-epoch data allow for the kinematic studies of the jet components. That results in a jet proper motion of μ(J1) = 0.017 ± 0.002 mas a-1 and μ(J2) = 0.156 ± 0.015 mas a-1, respectively. For the fastest-moving outer jet component J2, the corresponding apparent transverse speed is (19.5±1.9)c. The inferred bulk jet Lorentz factor Γ=14.6±3.8 and viewing angle θ=2.2°±1.6° indicate highly relativistic beaming. The Lorentz factor and apparent proper motion are the highest measured to date among the z>4 jetted radio sources, while the jet kinematics is still consistent with the cosmological interpretation of quasar redshifts. © 2020 Science China Press |
