The variable microwave continuum of radio-loud AGN
Conference paper
Abstract
It is shown that mm-variability measurements on short time-scales provide an efficient means to study structure in AGN on angular scales much smaller than those accessible even with mm-VLBI. A major drawback of present-day single dish antennae are measurement accuracies. Phased-array observations with the LSA would allow monitoring studies of all flat-spectrum radio sources in the universe.
