TL;DR
The TANAMI program monitors southern hemisphere active galactic nuclei with high-resolution radio interferometry to study their jet structures and dynamics, combining radio and gamma-ray observations for comprehensive insights.
Contribution
This paper introduces the TANAMI program, a novel monitoring initiative that combines VLBI radio observations with gamma-ray data to analyze AGN jets in the Southern Hemisphere.
Findings
High-resolution imaging of AGN jets at 8.4 and 22 GHz.
Correlations between radio jet activity and gamma-ray emission.
Detailed characterization of jet kinematics and structures.
Abstract
TANAMI (Tracking Active Galactic Nuclei with Austral Milliarcsecond Interferometry) is a monitoring program to study the parsec-scale structures and dynamics of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) of the Southern Hemisphere with the Long Baseline Array and associated telescopes. Extragalactic jets south of -30 degrees declination are observed at 8.4 GHz and 22 GHz every two months at milliarcsecond resolution. The initial TANAMI sample is a hybrid radio and gamma-ray selected sample since the combination of VLBI and gamma-ray observations is crucial to understand the broadband emission characteristics of AGN.
