The VLBA Imaging and Polarization Survey


This page was last modified on Oct 08, 2006

The VLBA Imaging and Polarization Survey, VIPS for short, is initially a high dynamic range 5 GHz polarization survey with the Very Long Baseline Array of about one thousand Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). The parent sample is the Cosmic Lens All Sky Survey in the region covered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in order to facilitate multi-wavelength science.
Interesting sources are followed up for simultaneous new 5 GHz and higher frequency (15 GHz anticipated) observations to obtain Spectral Index and Rotation Measure maps.
