Abstract
We define a complete flux-density-limited sample of 293 flat-spectrum sources-the Caltech-Jodrell Bank flat-spectrum (CJF) sample. The CJF s ample is designed to integrate the bulk of our existing VLBI survey ob servations into a large, homogeneous database for statistical studies of a broad range of astrophysical and cosmological issues. Here we pre sent 6 cm VLBA observations of the 18 sources that had not yet been im aged with VLBI, and both 6 and 20 cm VLA observations of 186 sources i n the sample.
