Abstract:

We present the data of three observing campaigns with the VLA performed to study intraday variability in compact extragalactic radio sources. The first campaign (May 1989) lasted 5 days; total intensity as well as linear polarization data were obtained at 2, 3.6, 6, and 20cm wavelength for 9 program sources. In the second observing run (February 1990), a five-antenna subarray of the VLA was used for 25 days to monitor the sources 0716+714, 0917+624, and 0954+658, with dense sampling at the same four wavelengths. In the third run (October 1992), which lasted 22 days, 8 program sources were monitored at 3.6, 6, and 20cm wavelength, and 2 additional sources at 6cm only, again with a five-antenna subarray. We present summary tables, light curves, and structure functions from these data sets.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
