Detection of a ∼0.1c Radio Knot in M81* Associated with a Moderate X-Ray Flare

Through very long baseline interferometry observations of one of the closest low-luminosity active galactic nuclei, M81*, at multiple frequencies of 8.8, 22, and 44 GHz, a bright discrete knot with an unusual low apparent speed ∼0.1 c was detected. Combined with the contemporaneous monitoring of X-r...
