CTD 135 is a radio-loud[2] quasar located in the constellation of Pegasus. The redshift of the object is (z) 0.790[1] and it was first discovered as an astronomical radio source in 1970 by astronomers.[3] It is classified as a BL Lacertae object and has a flat radio spectrum thus categorizing it a flat-spectrum radio quasar.[4] [1] [5]
Description
[edit ]CTD 135 is found to have a compact radio structure. When observed at both 4.8 and 1.4 GHz frequencies, it has one component that is found to be unsolved with an extend of 5 milliarcseconds. At 8.4 GHz, the source has a radio jet that is positioned at 60° with multiple bright component features.[6] [7] There is a radio core present that has a brightness temperature of 0.1 x 1012 Kelvin.[6] This core is also suggested to be self-absorbed and weak at frequency range below 15 GHz. Two other components are found; a southwest component that has a flat radio spectrum and a northern east component that contains a steep radio spectrum. The flux density of the core is estimated to be 755 ± 39 mJy at 15 GHz.[8] The host galaxy of CTD 135 has been suggested to be a luminous giant elliptical galaxy with a total host magnitude of -25.30 ± 0.41.[9]
Studies have found CTD 135 is a blazar. When observed, it is known to display significant variability on long-term light curves and also within the a short timespan of a few day period.[8] A near infrared flare was detected on 26 November 2010.[10] On 12 January 2016, it had another near infrared flare, which its optical brightness corresponds to around 14.78 ± 0.04.[11] In November 2024, the quasar had shown a new flare which increased its luminosity by a factor of 64 in H-band.[12]
A possible quasi-periodic oscillation signature was detected in CTD 135 in October 2021. Based on its long-term light curve data, it is estimated to be 460 days long. The central supermassive black hole of the quasar is 108.35 M☉ with the accretion disk luminosity being 6.03 ×ばつ 1045 erg s−1.[13]
