| Abstract: |
We are undertaking an Intra-Day Variability (IDV) Survey of 700 flat-spectrum AGN with the VLA at 5 GHz. Current evidence supports interstellar scintillation (ISS) as the mechanism causing IDV at cm wavelengths. While the Survey is still underway, the first results show at least 15% of the sources exhibit IDV, and hence possess microarcsecond scale structure. There is also a strong flux density dependence on the fraction of IDV sources, and some indication that EGRET sources are more likely to exhibit IDV than non-EGRET sources. |
