| Abstract: |
The Caltech-Jodrell Bank flat-spectrum (CJF) sample is a complete flux-density-limited sample of 293 flat-spectrum sources. It integrates existing VLBI survey observations (Pearson & Readhead 1988; Polatidis et al. 1995; Taylor et al. 1994) into a large, homogeneous database for statistical studies of a broad range of astrophysical and cosmological issues; e.g. the combination of the apparent superluminal motion distribution in the parsec-scale jets with radio source counts may allow us to make an assessment of the presence of cosmological evolution in the velocity distribution. Most recently third epoch VLBA observations at 5 GHz have been finished. Here we present first results on the superluminal motion statistics in view of different identification classes. |
