AbstractWe have been observing the sub-parsec-scale radio jet in the nucleus of Centaurus A, the closest active radio galaxy, at 8.4 GHz over the last 6 years with the SHEVE array and most recently with the VLBA at 8.4 and 22.2 GHz. In this paper we will review the results of these observations and give a brief summary of our interpretation, concentrating on the evolution of the sub-parsec-scale jet structure with time; subluminal component motions and rapid short timescale evolution. A full description of this work is soon to be published in a major journal article.

Centaurus A (NGC 5128) is the nearest giant radio galaxy. It is a Fanaroff-Riley type 1 (low luminosity) radio source, but the compact radio source in the nucleus is strong enough that VLBI imaging has been possible with both the SHEVE array and the VLBA at several frequencies. These observations have detected a sub-parsec scale counterjet. This shows that jet formation in at least some FR I sources is intrinsically two-sided over very small distances and the radio jets in Centaurus A are probably only moderately relativistic. We also find evidence that the center of activity in Centaurus A is partially obscured by a disk or torus of dense plasma.
