The MOJAVE SAMPLE
The MOJAVE program is currently observing nearly 300 compact AGN in the northern sky.  No new sources will be added within the current approved program. The list is composed of the following:
    • all previously known EGRET gamma-ray AGN above declination -20°
    • 33 low-luminosity AGN (15 GHz luminosity < 1026 W/Hz)
    • 6 gigahertz-peaked or compact steep spectrum sources
    • 7 AGN from the previous 2cm Survey that have unusual kinematics
    • 32 flaring AGN and 10 hard-spectrum AGN detected by Fermi (up to June 2012) that are bright enough for VLBA fringe detection (> 200 mJy at 15 GHz)
    • 102 gamma-ray selected AGN from the sample of Lister et al. 2011
    • any additional AGN above dec. -30° that are known to have exceeded S_VLBA = 1.5 Jy at 15 GHz between 1994.0 and 2010.0
The original 135 AGN in the flux-limited MOJAVE-1 survey had the following criteria:
  • Declination greater than  -20 degrees
  • Galactic latitude |b| > 2.5 degrees
  • Total 2 cm VLBA flux density exceeding 1.5 Jy at any epoch between 1994.0 and 2004.0 (>2 Jy for sources below the celestial equator)
Some sources from the original 2 cm Survey are no longer being monitored by our program. The full on-line data archive can be accessed via this list of all sources in both the VLBA 2cm Survey and MOJAVE programs.
