MOJAVE

Monitoring Of Jets in Active galactic nuclei with VLBA Experiments

Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) AGN monitoring program

Monitoring of AGN in search for the origin of Neutrinos

Observations

The team performs multi-frequency polarization observations of blazars and active galactic nuclei with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). Observations are made as part of the ongoing MOJAVE project and other dedicated VLBA experiments at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths. Single dish radio monitoring data are provided by collaborators from the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) AGN monitoring program. Gamma-ray light curves are provided by the Fermi LAT all-sky gamma-ray observations. Neutrino data are used from public datasets or alerts from all facilities, as well as results from the KM3NeT collaboration, of which this team is a full member. Data are also collected from publicly available optical surveys, including the Gaia space mission and ground-based surveys, such as SDSS, ZTF, and the upcoming LSST, as well as optical polarimetric measurements from all accessible sources.

Observational Data

All observational data originating from the project are made public from the MOJAVE 2cm Survey Data Archive and the Astrogeo VLBI FITS image database, as well as open acess publications and CDS.
