Abstract [en]
The first map made from 100 GHz VLBI observations of the quasar/BL Lac object 3C446 is presented. This map represents a 25-fold increase in resolution compared to earlier maps. Our main conclusions are that the core of 3C 446 is still almost unresolved (less than or similar to 30 muas) at this frequency and that a jet extends several hundred microarcseconds at position angle almost-equal-to -142-degrees. A comparison is also made with observations at other size scales.
