Scientific paper

An increase in radio emission has been observed in the nucleus of the galaxy Virgo A by use of VLBI measurements. These 2.29 GHz observations show that the correlated flux density of the milliarcsecond structure increased by 30% during a four month period in 1977, and eventually returned to the preflare level of ≡0.6 Jy. Previous evidence had indicated that the nuclear radio emission was stable, a surprising result for an active galactic nucleus.
