1 The MOJAVE Program: Investigating Relativistic Jets in AGN Collaborators : M. Cara, N. Cooper, S. Kuchibhotla (Purdue) A. Lankey, N. Mellott, K. O'Brien (Purdue) M. and H. Aller (Michigan) M. Cohen (Caltech) D. Homan (Denison) M. Kadler (GSFC) K. Kellermann (NRAO) Y. Kovalev (Lebedev) T. Arshakian, A. Lobanov, E. Ros, J. A. Zensus (MPIfR) R. Vermeulen (ASTRON) Matthew Lister, Purdue University

2 MOJAVE Science Much to be learned about AGN jets: –kinematics –compactness –polarization mechanisms –Faraday effects –optical & gamma-ray connections Bridle et al. 1994 Large, well-selected sample needed to quantify selection biases (> 100 AGN) Now possible with VLBA Complementary surveys: VIPS, VCS, USNO 3C 84

3 The MOJAVE Program Realizes a major design goal of VLBA VLBA 2 cm survey ('94 – '02) MOJAVE Phase I: 133 AGN at 2 cm, 4-6 VLBA epochs/source (’02-’05) Phase II: Multi-frequency VLBA imaging on 191 AGN (’06- ) Single-dish observations (U. Michigan, RATAN-600) Movie of 3C 111 by K. O’Brien (Purdue)

4 MOJAVE: Data Archive ??? Interferometric archives pose special challenge –NRAO data archives are currently incomprehensible to non-radio experts MOJAVE archive features: –html-based, script-generated data pages –over 1700 fully calibrated images –linked to/from NED –for non-experts: FITS images –for experts: calibrated visibility data

5 Summary Potential legacy impact from MOJAVE: –Easy-to-understand data archive (FITS images) –Determination of useful jet parameters for all 'famous' blazars such as 3C 279, Mk 501, BL Lac –Scientific justification for future space VLBI missions –Student training in radio astronomy Project webpage: www.physics.purdue.edu/astro/MOJAVE
