Poster Title: The jet in the radio galaxy 3C120 and its connection with the accretion disk and SMBH
Abstract: By Gomez, J. L., Marscher, A. P., Jorstad, S. G., & Agudo, I.
Intensive multi-frequency polarimetric VLBA and X-ray monitoring observations of the radio galaxy 3C120 will be presented, providing further information on the nature of the radio jet and its connection with the accretion disk and SMBH. The VLBA data provides detailed information on the jet dynamics, structure of the magnetic field, and interaction with the external medium at the inner parsec scales. Superluminal components are observed to appear after the observation of dips in the X-ray light curves, suggesting that part of the inner accretion disk that is not swallowed by the SMBH is used to feed the relativistic jets.
