VSOP Survey Program observation of J1617-7717

J1617-7717

The data on this page are described in detail in
The VSOP 5 GHz AGN Survey: III. Imaging results for the first 102 sources
by Scott et al. in Astrophysical Journal Supplement, 155, 33-72 (November 2004) .
Please refer to this paper for details of the observations, analysis and interpretation.

The observation of J1617-7717 (1610-771) was made on 05-04-1999 (dd-mm-yyyy)
with HALCA and 2 ground radio-telescopes over a duration of 3:30 (hours:minutes).
Baselines to HALCA were not necessarily available for all of that time.
The survey code for this source is vs02u.
The observation was correlated at the Penticton correlator.
The source is classified as a quasar at a redshift of 1.710.
Please refer to the paper for full details and references.

Specific notes in the above paper for this source are:
An image from the complete GOT data-set is given in Tingay et
al. (2002, ApJSupp 141, 311). They identify the core as the weaker,
more compact component to the east. The area subtended by the faint
core is < 0.9 mas^2.
