VLBA Observations ● 10-epoch phase reference observations 2015Jul15 --- 2015 Aug23 ● frequency setup same as 2006 observations 8.4 GHz, 4IFs,16 MHz per IF, dual polarization ● combine with 2006 observations There are 20 epoch data with time span of 9 year

Results: jet images

Results: precession ellipse

Results: proper motions and 3D motion ● Proper motion Our results GAIA results ● Distance 2.0 ± 0.3 kpc (Aragona et al. 2009) V LSR = 41.4 ± 10 km s ● 3D motion The very low peculiar motion is a strong evidence that the compact object is a black hole.

Results: precession period

Results: precession period

Results: geometry of the jet x', y' is the orbit plane B is the jet base x'', y' is the plane ┴ l.o.s BC is the jet axis

Results: geometry of the jet x', y' is the orbit plane B is the jet base x'', y' is the plane ┴ l.o.s BC is the jet axis Normal of the Orbit is same to the precession axis AG = 25 deg (Nagae et al. 2006) MAW = MOW = DAW=DBW = w = 230 deg Jet open angle = 6 deg, CG = 21 deg Jet open angle = 5 deg, CG = 20 deg for SS 433

Results: geometry of the jet Modeling the jet projection versus observations

Results: geometry of the jet Model of jet angle various with time

Future Plan ● LSI + 61 303 a good lab for study jet physics ● the core shift at high frequency will be much smaller, multi-epoch monitoring of the jet at higher frequency, its possible to separate precession and orbit motion ● High resolution multi-band jet data will yield properties of jet plasma (density & temperature), that can improve the model of radiation transfer, and the geometry of the radio jet
