Scientific paper

We briefly demonstrate the pilot results of the Deep Extragalactic VLBI-Optical Survey (DEVOS). Our ultimate aim is to eventually construct a large sample of compact sources (~10^4 objects) up to two orders of magnitude fainter than studied in VLBI surveys until now. This would lead to an unprecedented data base for various astrophysical and cosmological studies. The first global VLBI observations were successfully conducted in May 2002. We selected sources from the VLA FIRST catalogue, detected with MERLIN in the areas expected to be surveyed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with spectroscopic redshift measured. By means of observations of mJy-level sources in this pilot project we want to estimate the outcome of and the resources needed for a full-scale DEVOS project and obtain results valuable in their own right.
