The distance from the Sun to each source in this schedule is: Source Sun distance (deg) NGC1275 85.8 3C111 96.0 LEDA168563 103.0 4U0517+17 104.9 MCG+08-11-11 113.7 J0237+2848 73.4 J0313+4120 84.5 J0419+3955 96.4 J0507+4645 105.6 J0512+1517 105.2 J0555+3948 114.8 J0607+4739 115.5 Barry Clark estimates from predictions by Ketan Desai of IPM scattering sizes that the Sun will cause amplitude reductions on the longest VLBA baselines at a solar distance of 60deg F^(-0.6) where F is in GHz. For common VLBI bands, this is: 327 MHz 117. deg 610 MHz 81. deg 1.6 GHz 45. deg 2.3 GHz 36. deg 5.0 GHz 23. deg 8.4 GHz 17. deg 15.0 GHz 12. deg 22.0 GHz 9. deg 43.0 GHz 6. deg
