Abstract (from CDS):

Continuum VLBI observations at 3.6 cm of the RS CVn binary star IM Pegasi (HR 8703) for ∼16 hr beginning on 1997 January 16 revealed an apparent motion of the star's radio position that coincided temporally with a large relative change in its flux density. Specifically, a rise in flux density from 18 to 46 mJy in 1.4 hr coincided with a detected position change over that interval of (Δα, Δδ)=(-0.68±0.15, 0.55±0.20) mas. The magnitude of this position change is much larger than can be explained by parallax, proper motion, and orbital motion and is about two-thirds the estimated angular diameter of the primary component of the binary.
