Catching a glimpse of the radio light from the earliest AGN jets

As there are still a number of open questions concerning active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the earliest epochs of the Universe, e.g. the formation of the first supermassive black holes, the feedback between the AGNs and their host galaxies, and the overall cosmological evolution of these systems, it is important to conduct investigations on them in both statistical and individual aspects. The very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) technique provides an opportunity to study the structure of the furthermost AGNs with the finest angular resolution available in radio wavebands. In this presentation will provide some insight how combining data from all-sky radio surveys, VLBI observations, and additional measurements in other wavebands can help to solve some of the aforementioned mysteries.
