Abstract
The well known jet in M87 (Virgo A) has been extensively studied in the radio regime using conventional arrays with resultant resolutions in the range 0.22–1 arcsecond. We present here the results of a VLBI experiment to map the jet over its entire length (30 arcseconds) to high resolution. The observations were made in April 1984 at 1.67 GHz with a ‘World Array’ containing 18 VLBI telescopes. In addition, simultaneous observations were performed with the 6 station MERLIN array.Keywords
