Evidence for shock-shock interaction in the jet of CTA 102
Abstract
We have found evidence for interaction between a standing and a traveling shock in the jet of the blazar CTA 102. Our result is based in the study of the spectral evolution of the turnover frequency-turnover flux density (νm, Sm) plane. The radio/mm light curves were taken during a major radio outburst in April 2006.
