Astrophys.J.648:148-157,2006, May 12, 2006We present a study of the kinematic and spectral ages of the Gigahertz-Peaked<br /> Spectrum (GPS) source CTD~93. Measurements of the hot spot separation over 8.5<br /> yr show evidence of an increase. The separation rate along the source axis is<br /> 0.34$\pm0.11c$ (H$_{0}$=72 km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$), which results in a<br /> kinematic age of 2200$\pm$700 yr. Assuming that two hot spots are moving apart<br /> at equal speeds, we derive an advance speed of 0.17$\pm0.06c$. The radio lobe<br /> spectra show a high frequency steepening, as expected if energetic electrons<br /> lose energy by synchrotron radiation. The spectral break decreases with the<br /> distance from the hot spot in the northern component of CTD~93. This tendency<br /> is expected from the basic scenario of radio lobe evolution involving particle<br /> acceleration at the hot spots, with the radio lobes populated by high energy<br /> electrons which have leaked from the hot spots. Although a core-jet morphology<br /> for CTD~93 has previously been proposed, these results indicate that the<br /> morphology is similar to that of Compact Symmetric Object (CSO). From the<br /> spectral fits in the northern component we found a break frequency of 3.7 GHz<br /> at the edge of the lobe. The resultant spectral age is $\sim$300 yr assuming<br /> the equipartition magnetic field. This requires the advance speed of 0.26$c$,<br /> which shows a good agreement of the hot spot motion of 0.17$\pm0.06c$. Our<br /> results strongly support the hypothesis that CSOs are young radio sources.

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 60 1069-1075We present the proper motions of H2O masers in NML Cygni, observed with the Japanese VLBI Network at three epochs spanning 455 d. We detected about 15 maser features at each epoch. Overall, 13 features that were detected at least twice were tracked by their radial velocities and proper motions. The three-dimensional kinematics of the maser features indicate the presence of an expanding outflow. The major axis of the outflow is estimated to be at a position angle of ∼ 108°, and an inclination angle of ∼ 8° with respect to the line of sight. The H2O masers are located between an apparent minimum radius of ∼ 9.6 × 1012 m (64 AU) and a maximum radius of ∼ 3.0 × 1013 m (202AU), where the expansion velocity increases from 12 to 27 km s-1. A comparison with the distributions of SiO, H2O, and OH masers suggests that the outflow of NML Cygni is expanding outside a radius of ∼ 1.5 × 10 13 m (100 AU). This radius corresponds to 6 stellar radii, and is consistent with the radius of the inner boundary for the dust shell. © 2008. Astronomical Society of Japan.
