Fig. 5.

Angles of the VLBI-to-Gaia position vectors with respect to the jet directions as a function of the jet position angles based on the MOJAVE data. The error bars shown are the combined uncertainties from the formal errors of the two directions. There are 327 sources with robust multi-epoch and multi-jet position angles, cross-matched from the 3142 sources. Of these, 208 sources have both the uncertainties of the VLBI-to-Gaia position directions and the median jet directions smaller than 30 degrees, and are shown as gray dots. There are 81 sources with those uncertainties smaller than 12 degrees, shown as red dots. For these 81 sources, the median ρ is 0.93 mas, and the Xρ values are larger than 3.3. Among them, 54 sources have the directions of the position differences along the jet directions within 25 degrees and their ρ are in the range 0.2–28.0 mas; 17 sources have the directions of the position differences opposite to the jet directions, and their ρ values are in the range 0.2–39.1 mas.
