The "Number - Flux Density" Relation for Milliarcsecond Structures in Extragalactic Radio Sources

Abstract

``Number - flux density'' distributions for total and correlated flux densities at various interferometer spacings in 355 extragalactic radio sources are analysed. Qualitative conclusions on the population of milliarcsecond components in these sources are presented.
