MOJAVE Jet Movies
Click on a
source image for the total intensity movie.
Click on a source name for the polarization movie.
These
MPEG movies are linearly interpolated animations of the parsec-scale
jet evolution in the MOJAVE AGN sample from 2002 to 2006. In the total
intensity movies (click on a source image), the pseudocolors represent
15 GHz total intensity. In
the linear polarization movies (click on a source name), the
pseudocolors represent fractional linear
polarization, and are superimposed on total intensity contours. The
sticks represent electric polarization vectors, and are superimposed on
linearly polarized intensity contours plus a single lowest total
intensity contour. The full-width half-maximum interferometric
restoring beam dimensions are
represented by the cross at the lower left of the images.
Note: In some movies, the
screen will temporarily turn black,
indicating a period of 2.5 years or more in which no data are available
to interpolate the images. If you have 2 cm VLBA data on such a
source,
please contact us.
The background color scheme is as follows:
Violet =
member of flux-limited MOJAVE-I sample (also in MOJAVE-II).
Light Blue
=
new member of MOJAVE-II sample.
Yellow = 2cm
