The formation of such jets is the subject of intense research, mainly based on the dichotomy presented by the two main jet launching scenarios $-$ the one from Blandford&Payne (1982), and the one from Blandford&Znajek (1977). In this work we study the prominent and nearby radio galaxy 3C 84 (NGC 1275) with 15, 43, and 86 GHz quasi-simultaneous VLBI observations. From these we determine the jet apex to be located $83pm7,mu$as ($0.028-0.11$pc) upstream of the 86 GHz VLBI core, applying a two dimensional cross-correlation analysis. A byproduct of this analysis are spectral index maps, in which we identify a robust spectral index gradient in the north-south direction, for the first time at such high resolution, for the 43-86 GHz pair. The magnetic field strength at distances from the VLBI core comparable to measurements from the literature ($sim10$ Schwarzschild radii) for other prominent AGN, like NGC 1052 and M 87, is computed to be $70-600$G. Implications for the magnetic field topology are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":136428,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of European VLBI Network Mini-Symposium and Users' Meeting 2021 — PoS(EVN2021)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122322421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
