Multiband VLBI observations of CTA 102

• The source CTA102, known to exhibit low frequency variability, has been observed at six epochs (three at λ32cm, two at λ18cm, and one at λ1.3cm) with intercontinental VLBI arrays. On the basis of the changes observed in the structure, we believe that the flux density variations at these wavelengths are due to intrinsic processes and not due to interstellar scintillation. This source exhibits behaviour suggestive of being expanding with a very high apparent transverse velocity.
