Abstract:
We study the correlations between the VLBA (Very Long Baseline Array)
radio emission at 15GHz, extended emission at 151MHz, and optical
nuclear emission at 5100Å for a complete sample of 135 compact
jets.
We use the partial Kendall's tau correlation analysis to check the
link between radio properties of parsec-scale jets and optical nuclear
luminosities of host active galactic nuclei (AGN).
Description:
We present the data of 135 superluminal active galactic nuclei (AGN)
from the statistically complete MOJAVE-1 (Monitoring of Jets in AGN
with VLBA Experiments) sample. Of the 135 radio-loud AGN in the
MOJAVE-1 sample there are 101 quasars, 22 BL Lacs, 8 galaxies, and 3
unidentified objects. We present the extended radio emission at
151MHz, jet power and apparent speed of the jet, and optical nuclear
emission and optical luminosity at 5100 Angstrom.
