AIPS Input Files
ANTAB.TXT Comments
No PI letter, information from NRAO ftp site and from ftp.atnf.csiro.au. Flags, Tsys data, etc., are from the v008d2cal.vlba and the vlba_gains.key files. No UVFLG.TXT, but V008D2.FLAG was made by task VLOG.

Comments on Difmap processing
The image and model show two components. The major one is the core and its size is 0.25 +/- 0.05 mas in size.

The secondary component is to the south-west and is seen on other VLBI images.
