We present the first 1.3 mm (230 GHz) very long baseline interferometry model image of an AGN jet using closure phase techniques with a four-element array. The model image of the quasar 1924-292 was obtained with four telescopes at three…

The Blandford and K\"{o}nigl model of AGN jets predicts that the position of the apparent opaque jet base - the core - changes with frequency. This effect is observed with radio interferometry and is widely used to infer parameters and…
