| Abstract: |
We have carried out VLBA observations of the OH absorption lines toward the nucleus of the active galaxy, NGC 5793, which is known to have a megamaser in its center. We have also successfully made its continuum image at the L band. It reveals the typical ``core-jet'' structure on parsec scales. Uniform values of optical depth at each point against the background radio continuum source shows that the column densities of the OH absorbing cloud uniformly distributes around the radio compact nucleus. |
