Towards the Event Horizon - The Vicinity of AGN at Micro-Arcsecond Resolution
T. P. Krichbaum, D. A. Graham, W. Alef +18
We summarize the present status of VLBI experiments at 3 mm (86 GHz), 2 mm (129-150 GHz) and 1.3 mm (215-230 GHz). We present and discuss a new 3 mm VLBI map of M87 (Virgo A), whic…
Zooming towards the Event Horizon - mm-VLBI today and tomorrow
T. P. Krichbaum, A. Roy, J. Wagner +21
Global VLBI imaging at millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelength overcomes the opacity barrier of synchrotron self-absorption in AGN and opens the direct view into sub-pc scale regi…
Towards the Event Horizon - High Resolution VLBI Imaging of Nuclei of Active Galaxies
T. P. Krichbaum, D. A. Graham, A. Witzel +10
We report on new developments in VLBI, with emphasis on experiments performed at the highest frequencies possible to date (so called mm-VLBI). We have observed the nucleus of M 87…
2mm Wavelength VLBI of SiO Masers and AGN
S. Doeleman, R. Phillips, A. Rogers +21
In April 2002 an array of antennas operating at 129GHz successfully detected VLBI fringes on both continuum AGN and SiO maser sources. The 129GHz fringes on maser sources represent…
First 230 GHz VLBI Fringes on 3C 279 using the APEX Telescope
J. Wagner, A. L. Roy, T. P. Krichbaum +52
We report about a 230 GHz very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) fringe finder observation of blazar 3C 279 with the APEX telescope in Chile, the phased submillimeter array (SMA)…
VLBI observations at 147 GHz: first detection of transatlantic fringes in bright AGN
T. P. Krichbaum, D. A. Graham, W. Alef +21
At 147 GHz (2mm wavelength), we detected three prominent AGN (NRAO150, 3C279, 1633+382) with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) with an angular resolution of only 18 micro-ar…
