High-resolution monitoring of parsec-scale jets in the Fermi era
arXiv:1205.1043
Abstract
I review here the present observational efforts to study parsec-scale radio jets in active galactic nuclei with very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) as related to the new window to the Universe opened by the LAT instrument on-board the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. I describe the goals and achievements of those radio studies, which aim to probe the emission properties, morphological changes and related kinematics, magnetic fields from the linear and circular polarization, etc., and I put those in the context of the radio--gamma-ray connection. Both statistical studies based on radio surveys and individual studies on selected sources are reported. Those should shed some light in the open questions about the nature of emission in blazars.
