0836+710. High quality ground and VSOP images

Abstract

Some results from the processing of data of two Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of well-known quasar 0836+710 are presented. This source demonstrates a big parsec-scale jet with reach structure in S (2300 MHz), C (4980 MHz), and X (8400 MHz) frequency bands and has been included into the Japanese mission titled VSOP (VLBI Space Orbital Program) as well as into the future Russian mission titled ‘RADIOASTRON’ source listing. The radio images presented here illustrate some interesting properties of radio structure of 0836+710. The processing of data has been carried out with the software ‘Astro Space Locator’ (ASL for Windows).
