Abstract
The recent Deep X-ray Radio Blazar Survey (DXRBS) has identified a sample of BL Lac objects spanning the intermediate range of spectral energy distributions between “classical” X-ray selected and radio-selected samples of BL Lacs. Detailed studies of such samples are needed to answer some of the currently open questions regarding the nature of BL Lacs and their place in a unified model of AGN. High-resolution radio imaging provides direct information on jet evolution and beaming parameters. We present some preliminary results from EVN & MERLIN observations of sources in the DXRBS BL Lac sample for which little or no high-resolution radio data were previously available.

One of the most debated issues about sub-mJy radio sources, which are responsible for the steepening of the 1.4 GHz source counts, is the origin of their radio emission. Particularly interesting, from, this point ...
