Left: 43 GHz VLBA images in terms of the brightness temperature Tb in the source rest frame. The right ascension of the radio core is fixed to 0. The cyan contours indicate where Tb = Teq ≈ 5 × 1010 K. The yellow dashed lines present the location 0.6 mas from the core, a typical projected distance of Region C (0.45–0.7 mas; Weaver et al. 2022). Right: contours obtained from Stokes I images, starting from 3σrms level, where σrms represents the r.m.s noise level in a residual map. The color maps show linear polarization intensity. All the images are convolved with a beam size of 0.2 × 0.2 mas2. The black bars indicate the observed polarization angle on the images where the S/N of the polarized emission is higher than 3.
