摘要
We present the results of simultaneous multifrequency imaging observations at 22, 43, 86, and 129 GHz of OJ 287. We used the Korean Very Long Baseline Interferometry Network as part of the Interferometric Monitoring of Gamma-ray Bright active galactic nuclei (iMOGABA). The iMOGABA observations were performed during 31 epochs from 2013 January 16 to 2016 December 28. We also used 15 GHz OVRO and 225 GHz SMA flux density data. We analyzed four flux enhancements in the light curves. The estimated timescales of three flux enhancements were similar with timescales of similar to 50 days at two frequencies. A fourth flux enhancement had a variability timescale approximately twice as long. We found that 225 GHz enhancements led the 15 GHz enhancements by a range of 7-30 days in the time delay analysis. We found the fractional variability did not change with frequency between 43 and 86 GHz. We could reliably measure the turnover frequency, nu(c), of the core of the source in three epochs. This was measured to be in a range from 27 to 50 GHz and a flux density at the turnover frequency, S-m, ranging from 3 to 6 Jy. The derived SSA magnetic fields, B-SSA, are in a range from 0.157 +/- 0.104 to 0.255 +/- 0.146 mG. We estimated the equipartition magnetic field strengths to be in a range from 0.95 +/- 0.15 to 1.93 +/- 0.30 mG. The equipartition magnetic field strengths are up to a factor of 10 higher than the values of B-SSA. We conclude that the downstream jet may be more particle energy dominated.
