AbstractHigh precision astrometry on radio pulsars can provide model-independent estimates of their distances and velocities. Such estimates serve to calibrate models of the Galactic electron density distribution, thereby improving distance estimates for the entire pulsar population. They can provide independent astrometric information for precision pulse timing, reducing the number of fit parameters and thus potentially improving the sensitivity of pulsar timing arrays to the gravitational wave background. Individual neutron stars also serve as laboratories for astrophysics. For example, distances to highly luminous recycled pulsars identified by the Fermi gamma ray space telescope will constrain their energetics and may serve to probe the equation of state for nuclear matter at extremes of density and pressure. Here we provide an update on ongoing astrometry programs with the Very Long Baseline Array and the scientific results from these efforts.

AbstractThe advent of Fermi is changing our understanding on the radio and γ-ray emission in active galactic nuclei. Unlike pre-Fermi ideas, BL Lac objects are found to be the most abundant emitters in the γ-ray band. However, since they are relatively weak radio sources, most of their parsec-scale structure and their multifrequency properties are poorly understood and/or have not been investigated in a systematic fashion. Here we are analyzing the radio and γ-ray emission properties of a sample of 42 BL Lacs selected with no constraint on their radio and γ-ray emission. Thanks to new Very Long Baseline Array observations at 8 and 15 GHz for the whole sample, we discuss their parsec-scale structure. Parsec-scale radio emission is observed in the majority of the sources at both frequencies. The comparison between our results in radio and gamma-ray bands points out the presence of a large number of faint BL Lacs showing “non-classical” properties such as low source compactness, low core dominance, no gamma-ray emission.
