Multi-Frequency VLBI Studies of AGN Core-shift Effect
 
Date:  18-19 December 2014
Location: Room 331-2, Jangyoungsil hall,
Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI)
Daejeon, Korea
 
We are pleased to announce the workshop “Multi-Frequency VLBI Studies of
AGN Core-shift Effect”. Measuring the effect of frequency-dependent core-shifts
of AGNs using the Very Long Baseline Interferometer (VLBI) at multi-frequencies
provides a unique tool to study conditions at the central regions of AGNs.
 
This two-day workshop aims to review theoretical perspectives and observational
 results about the AGN core-shift effect, and to discuss these issues and share
the views including possible collaboration. Topics include: physical properties of
jet opacity, VLBI astrometry, Radio-Optical reference frame and multi-frequency
VLBI system. This workshop will feature invited/contributed talks and discussions.
 
If you are interested, please register by giving your full name, affiliation, email,
position and title/abstract of your presentation (if any) via Email to Taehyun Jung:
thjung@kasi.re.kr until December 6. Questions and comments also should be sent
to the same email address.
