Superluminal Magnetic Movies



ABSTRACT

We have made movie clips, showing the evolution of the milli-arcsecond structure and magnetic field of 12 well known blazars. The images are based on six epochs of VLBA observations at 15 GHz spanning all of 1996. Intermediate frames were constructed by linear interpolation using a script in AIPS (implemented as a RUN file). For the AIPS scripts used to make the movies, go HERE. View the HTML version of AIPS Memo # 106 which describes our procedures. Beware that several movies are shown with the images stretched. These will be remade (someday).
