Description
3C 84 is unique in that it is one of the few non-blazar AGN that is detected at ultra high energies (including MAGIC in addition to Fermi/LAT). The source itself has been increasing in flux density at both radio and Gamma-rays since approximately 2005 with VLBI observations showing that this rising emission is associated with a slowly moving component south of the jet-launching (C1) region, commonly known as "C3". Recent analysis of multi-wavelength Korean VLBI Network data has suggested multiple locations of Gamma-rays within 3C 84. In addition to the slowly rising trend in C3, smaller scale rapid variation of radio and Gamma-ray fluxes are associated with the C1 region, but that the correlations observed are due to random processes. We than applied wavelet analysis using the WISE package to the kinematics of 3C 84 from 2010 until now. We find that a large flare beginning in early 2015 and currently decaying is apparently due to the emission of a new component from the C3 region. Additionally, there appears to be evidence for helical trajectories with Gamma-ray flaring being possibly associated with when the helical path passes through our line-of-sight.
