High-resolution studies of the twin jet in NGC 1052

TL;DR

This study reports on high-resolution radio observations of NGC 1052's twin jet, aiming to connect radio jet activity with X-ray variations to understand accretion processes in this galaxy.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive multi-band observational campaign combining radio, X-ray, and spectroscopic data to study jet and accretion dynamics in NGC 1052.

Findings

Radio and X-ray variability correlation explored

High-resolution imaging of twin jets obtained

Progress report on multi-band observational campaign

Abstract

The radio loud galaxy NGC 1052 is being studied in an intensive multi-band campaign including X-ray brigthness monitoring and spectroscopic observations, single-dish radio brightness monitoring at centimetre wavelengths, and a high-frequency very-long-baseline interferometry monitoring program. Here we present a progress report on our studies from this program. The final goal of our observations is to relate the findings from the high-resolution radio images with the observed variations in the X-ray regime, to address the accretion processes and their relationship with the radio jet activity.
