The program
~1200 sources, mostly CGRaBS
Observed every 2 days Data since June 2007 Frequency: 15 GHz, 3 GHz
bandwidth ~ 5mJy thermal noise +
systematic ~2% 2.5’ beam at 15GHz
Purpose
Characterize radio variabilityCorrelations with gamma activityCollaboration with multiwavelength
campaigns (e.g. 3C454.3, PKS 1502+106) LAT and other groups too
