Abstract

We report preliminary results of MOGABA project for monitoring total flux density, linearly polarized flux, and polarization angle at 22, 43 and 86GHz of Gamma-ray bright AGN (Active Galactic Nuclei) with KVN (Korean VLBI Network) 21-m radio telescopes. The project has been conducted in one year since May 2011 with an effective monitoring cycle of 1 week, observing four main objects (3C 454.3, BL Lac, 3C 273, and 3C 279). More objects were included in the source list when they had flared in Gamma-ray. Especially, we included a compact radio source at the Galactic center, SgrA* since Jan. 2012. In this paper, we report the current status of the project and preliminary results for the monitoring observations.
