These are descriptions of a selected group of projects being observed this month.
Information is also available for past projects.
A fair amount of telescope time this month will be dedicated to experiments involving the VLBA, or some part of it, and other telescopes around the world. WR146 and WR147 to observe the non-thermal radio components of the area between the stars in wind interaction regions. The origin of the IDVs is unknown. There are both extrinsic and intrinsic models that seek to explain IDVs but more observational data is needed to constrain the models. The extrinsic models account for the variability by irregularities in the interstellar medium of our Galaxy, while intrinsic models rely on the presence of extremely compact radio sources in the blazars themselves.
