Abstract

The 3C84 (NGC 1275), one of Seyfert 2 galaxy, is an interesting object with its peculiar sub-mas structure. We found that the inner jet (r < 2.5mas) of 3C84 seemed to even changed its position angle and flux over one and a half years based on the result of global 86GHz VLBI survey (Lee et al. 2008). In order to confirm the 'precession' of jet, we observed the object in 4 epochs May07, Oct.07, May08 and Oct.08 with the GMVA (Global mm-VLBI Array) at 3mm (86.25GHz) and the each observation time is about 14 hours. Here we present observation and preliminary result of Oct.07 and May08 epochs.
