The VSOP 5 GHz continuum survey, recent results

In February 1997 the Japanese radio astronomy satellite Halca was launched to provide the space-bourne element for the VSOP mission. Approximately twenty-five percent of the mission time has been dedicated to the VSOP Survey, a 5 GHz survey of bright, compact AGN. The results from the ongoing analysis are presented. Both the final, calibrated, high resolution images and plots of visibility amplitude versus uv distance for the first half of the sources have been prepared and will be submitted shortly. Papers on the methods and the models from fitting the cumulative uv amplitudes will also be submitted. The analysis of the second half is well underway.
