Observational Properties of Jets in Active Galactic Nuclei
Parsec scale jet properties are shortly presented and discussed.
Observational data are used to derive constraints on the jet velocity and
orientation, the presence of velocity structures, and the connection between
the pc and kpc scale. Two peculiar sources with limb-brightened jets: 1144+35
and Mkn 501 are discussed in detail.Comment: 13 pages with 7 figures. To appear in "Virtual Astrophysical Jets"
