VLBI observations of the compact components in M82
Abstract
VLBI observations at 2.3 and 8.4 GHz of 15 compact components in M82, obtained on May 19, 1983, are examined. Angular sizes and linear sizes of the compact sources in M82 are estimated; it is detected that most of the compact sources studied have linear sizes in excess of 0.3 pc. The brightness distribution of the strongest of the 15 compact sources, 41.9 + 58, is investigated; two dominant, elongated components oriented at an angle of about 20 deg and having maximum dimensions of 10-30 mas are observed.
