Descriptions of a selected group of projects being observed this month.
Information is also available for past projects.
The VLBA will be participating in this observation of 26 nearby young radio sources. GPS, or Gigahertz Peaked Sources, are young radio sources that most likely represent the early evolutionary stage of classical extended radio sources. This information will help scientists develop theories of radio source evolution. NGC3079 Seyfert galaxies are active spirals with nuclei which are very bright at visible wavelengths. The object of this experiment is to test the geometric unification theory by studying differences in spectra and velocities in the jet and counter-jet of the Seyfert 2 galaxy, NGC 3079.
