1 26 - 29 September 2006 The 8th European VLBI Network Symposium, Torun, Poland 1 Imaging of Quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei. Fine-Scale Structure Evolution Andrey Chuprikov Igor Guirin Astro Space Center Moscow Russia

2 26 - 29 September 2006 The 8th European VLBI Network Symposium, Torun, Poland 2 Observations We present some results of 4 VLBA experiments (RDV14, RDV15, RDV16, and RDV17) RDV1415/4/1999 RDV1510/5/1999 RDV1621/6/1999 RDV1702/8/1999

4 26 - 29 September 2006 The 8th European VLBI Network Symposium, Torun, Poland 4 Dual-Frequency Calibration of the Ionosphere Delay The trick is to compensate the ionosphere delay before Self-Calibration with multiplication the Visibility by A linear combination of group delays in S (2200 MHz) and X (8400 MHz) band yields straightforwardly the ionosphere delay :

5 26 - 29 September 2006 The 8th European VLBI Network Symposium, Torun, Poland 5 Calibration of the Atmosphere Delay The Multi Band Delay (MBD) fitting is used to determine the Atmosphere/Troposphere model errors

6 26 - 29 September 2006 The 8th European VLBI Network Symposium, Torun, Poland 6 Data processing The main idea is to compensate the ionosphere / atmosphere Delays before Self-Calibration This can be made with Fitting of the Multi Band Dalay In many cases, such procedure can improve the source image essentially Analysis of the obtained image allows to reveal changes in the source structure
