| Abstract: |
We present multi-frequency observations towards the nucleus of NGC 3079 using both Japan VLBI Network (J-Net) and the VLBA including phased VLA and Effelsberg. We detected two continuum components at 1.4 and 8.4 GHz, and determined the spectral indices for each component. Further, we found several H i absorption features towards the continuum components whose velocity gradient is opposite to the galaxy rotation. Assuming rotation, the central mass is estimated to be ~3 x 106 M_\odot. The water maser distribution extends in North-South direction along the galactic disk, while no clear indication of a Keplerian rotating disk was found. |
