Abstract
AbstractThe 16m quasar 3C 345 is one of the best examples of an AGN showing structural and flux variability on parsec scales around a compact unresolved radio core. It has been observed from radio to γ-ray wavebands with a special focus on Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations in the range 1-100 GHz that cover a period of over 30 years. The complex pc-scale jet of 3C 345 exemplifies an archetypal “superluminal” jet with helical substructure. Existing VLBI observations of 3C 345 form an unprecedented database enabling a unique insight into the long-term evolution of the pc-scale radio emission. Here we present the latest results from our ongoing long-term VLBI monitoring of 3C 345, focusing on the morphological, kinematic, and spectral evolution of the pc-scale jet. Special attention will be given to the recent onset of a new period of high activity in the source that has been manifesting itself since 2008 from radio through γ-rays. Recent VLBI and high energy observations to study the relation between the radio emission and the production of high energy photons in 3C 345 are combined.
