BVRI photometry of OQ 530

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Results of VLBI and optical observations are presented for the BL Lac object OQ 530 (B1418+546), whose long-term optical variability is characterised by a decreasing mean luminosity trend.

Description

EVN images at 1.6GHz and 5GHz of OQ 530 show a very bright core with a much weaker jet extending to about 35-40mas. The radio flux density from the core in June 2001 was much higher than that measured in February 1999.

A similar increase was also found from nearly simultaneous optical photometry, while the total flux density of the jet remained unchanged. The structure of the jet shows several knots which move outward with an apparent superluminal motion with a beta_app_>=3.5h^-1^. The region within about 3mas from the core contains a component not well resolved in our images and emerging from it in the jet direction.

That component was also detected in images taken from 1990 to 1997 and it seems to be a rather stable structural feature. Using nearly simultaneous optical and radio data, we can describe the SED of the synchrotron peak with a simple formula, approximating a power law at low frequencies and a log-parabola at the high ones, whose maximum lies in the range 3.5-5x10^13^Hz, and the extrapolation in the X-ray range give a flux comparable to that observed with BeppoSAX.
