Abstract

The TANAMI (Tracking AGN with Austral Milliarcsecond Interferometry) program provides comprehensive VLBI monitoring of extragalactic gamma-ray sources south of declination -30 degrees. Operating at two radio frequencies (8 and 22 GHz), this program is a critical component of the joint quasi-simultaneous observations with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and ground based observatories to discriminate between competing theoretical blazar emission models. We describe the TANAMI program and present early results on the 75 sources currently being monitored.
