Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We have conducted VLBI monitoring observations for a radio galaxy 3C 84 to investigate how the pc scale jet structure changes over a long period. VERA, a VLBI observation network in Japan, was used for the observation. The C3 component of the jet has continuously moved toward the south from the core. The motion was, however, not straight, but it showed a bending of about 0.3 mas (0.1 pc) with a time scale of 500-1000 days. Two models explaining the bending, local brightness distribution change or real change of the jet traveling direction, are discussed.</jats:p>
