5 Summary

In this paper we have presented the results of 21 extragalactic radio sources of VLBI observation at 5 GHz. The VLBI images of eleven sources and the correlated flux density information of the remaining 10 sources are given. The superluminal nature of four sources (DA193, 0420-014, 1334-127 and 2345-16) is confirmed and their physical parameters ($\delta$, $\gamma$ and $\phi$) are derived. Lorentz factors in the range $3.5 \le \gamma < 10.4$ are found, in agreement with their blazar nature. Two new superluminal candidates 1504-166 and 2243-123 are found, and finally three sources (1532+016, 2320-035, 2351-154) are imaged for the first epoch at VLBI resolution.
