TANAMI
TANAMI (Tracking Active Galactic Nuclei with Austral Milliarcsecond
Interferometry) is a program to image and monitor the parsec-scale
structures of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) of the
Southern Hemisphere with the LBA. Complementary to existing programs
in the Northern Hemisphere (e.g., MOJAVE), TANAMI is tracking the jets
of sources south of -30 degrees declination with milliarcsecond
resolution at 8.4GHz and 22GHz. TANAMI observations are being
conducted every two months which started in November 2007 providing
dense sampling of fast superluminal moving jet features. Currently,
TANAMI is monitoring about 80 jets (most of them blazars)
including many sources
found by Fermi
to be flaring at gamma-rays.
