The Fastest Relativistic Jets: VLBA Observations of Blazars with Apparent Speeds Exceeding 25c

B. G. Piner, D. Bhattarai, P. G. Edwards +1

We have measured peak apparent speeds of 25.6 +/- 7.0c, 25.6 +/- 4.4c, and 28.2 +/- 6.6c in the jets of 0235+164, 0827+243, and 1406-076, respectively, based on six epochs of high-…
