摘要
We report the results of a 5 GHz Southern Hemisphere snapshot VLBI observation of a sample of blazars. The observations were performed with the Southern Hemisphere VLBI Network plus the Shanghai station in 1993 May. Twenty-three hat-spectrum, radio-loud sources were imaged. These are the first VLBI images for 15 of the sources. Eight of the sources are EGRET (>100 MeV) gamma-ray sources. The milliarcsecond morphology shows a core-jet structure for 12 sources and a single compact core for the remaining 11. No compact doubles were seen. Compared with other radio images at different epochs and/or different frequencies, three core-jet blazars show evidence of bent jets, and there is some evidence for superluminal motion in the cases of two blazars. Detailed descriptions for individual blazars are given.
