Contour images of the first three 8.4 GHz TANAMI observations with natural weighting. The black contours indicate the flux density level, scaled logarithmically and increased by a factor of 3, with the lowest level set to the 3σ-noise-level (for more details see Table 1). Negative contours are shown in gray. From top to bottom: 2007 November (Ojha et al. 2010), 2008 June, 2008 November (Paper I). The FWHM of the restoring beams for each observation is shown as a gray ellipse in the lower left corner. 1 mas in the image corresponds to 0.018 pc.
