This ties very close to what I'm going to do, starting tomorrow, with the research position I just got under Dr. Stefi Baum. I'm going to take VLA data and learn how to overlay it on HST data (from what I understand as of yet) with IDL, and I have a lot of material on (partially) AGN's and the jets coming from galaxy centers. I'm very eager to know what portion of the sky it is so I can look it up in other catalogs as well, compare images and stuff.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
