Since the unexpected discovery of 12 compact radio sources in one of the nuclei of Arp220 we have been performing multi-frequency monitoring of the structure using global VLBI and the VLBA alone. We now have 5 epochs of data and can demonstrate that the fluxes of the radio sources are, in general, decreasing monotonically. They also have very steep spectra. Both facts support our earlier supposition that these are indeed highly luminous radi supernovae. In Smith et al (1998, ApJ, 493, L17) we predicted a supernova rate of approximately 2 per year, this has not been observed and so our model of the star formation rate in Arp220 must be revised.
