Abstract

Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of 416 radio sources with declinations north of -45 deg have been conducted at frequencies of 2.3 and 8.4 GHz. At 2.3 GHz, 323 of 391 radio sources observed were detected with a fringe spacing of 3 milliarcsec and a detection limit of about 0.1 Jy. At 8.4 GHz, 278 of 416 radio sources were detected with a fringe spacing of 1 milliarcsec and a detection limit of about 0.1 Jy. This survey was conducted primarily to determine the strength of compact components at 8.4 GHz for radio sources previously detected with VLBI at 2.3 GHz. Compact extragalactic radio sources with strong correlated flux densities at both frequencies are used to form a high-accuracy reference frame.
