Abstract

We have carried out 43-GHz VLBI test observations of the Korean VLBI Network (KVN), which has obtained the first fringes at 22/43-GHz in 2009 (a talk by Sohn, Bong Won). In collaboration with VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) in Japan, we have observed Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) and Orion-KL at 43GHz on 22nd and 23rd December, 2009, in order to evaluate the baseline- and image-sensitivity of KVN and KVN+VERA. In this talk we report the preliminary results of the VLBI test observations of the Korean VLBI Network at 43GHz.
