Abstract:
The MOJAVE blazar sample consists of the 133 brightest, most compact
radio-loud AGNs in the northern sky, and it is selected on the basis
of VLBA 2cm correlated flux density exceeding 1.5Jy (2Jy for
declinations south of 0) at any epoch between 1994 and 2003. Since
1994 we have been gathering VLBA data on the sample to measure
superluminal jet speeds and to better understand the parsec-scale
kinematics of AGN jets. We have obtained 1.4GHz VLA A configuration
data on 57 of these sources to investigate whether the extended
luminosity of blazars is correlated with parsec-scale jet speed and
also to determine what other parsec-scale properties are related to
extended morphology, such as optical emission line strength and
gamma-ray emission. We present images and measurements of the
kiloparsec scale emission from the VLA data, which will be used in
subsequent statistical studies of the MOJAVE sample.
Description:
The observations were made with the VLA in the A configuration, which
yields a typical restoring beam of 1.5"(FWHM), at an observing
frequency of 1.4GHz. The data were recorded in spectral line mode,
with eight channels per IF. The observations took place during filler
time on six separate dates between 2004 September 19 and 2004 November 24.
