Intrinsic Brightness Temperatures of AGN Jets [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2006
We present a new method for studying the intrinsic brightness temperatures of the parsec-scale jet cores of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). Our method uses observed superluminal motions and observed brightness temperatures for a large sample of AGN to ...

Variation of Thermal Infrared Brightness Temperature Anomalies in the Madoi Earthquake and Associated Earthquakes in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (China)

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
We processed MODIS data received from ground receiving stations into the spatial range of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (China) and the eastern margin of the plateau, and then 283 K was set as the threshold value to remove the area covered by clouds.

Brightness temperature for radio sources [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007
AbstractIn this work, using the database of the university of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO), we determined the brightness temperatures, TB for a sample of 167 radio sources. The value of TB is in a range of log TB(K) = 10.46 to 20.08, which suggested that the boosting factors are in a range of δ = 0.41 to 41.26.
