| Description: | On 26 June 2007, the EVN carried out the first successful six European station e-VLBI (electronic very long baseline interferometry) observations at 512 Mbps data rate. The target was J0000+4054, classified as a compact symmetric object (CSO). CSOs are believed to be young radio sources from the observed small size and proper motions in their radio structure. The attached image of J0000+4054 shows this radio emission elongated roughly in North-South direction with a dynamic range exceeding 1000:1 and a noise level of 200 microJy/beam. Participating telescopes were Cambridge, Jodrell Bank (MkII), Medicina, Onsala, Torun, and Westerbork.
