We present multi-epoch global VLBI observations at 2 cm, 3.6 cm and 6 cm of the compact radio sources in Arp220. We resolve many sources and estimate sizes, expansion velocities and source classes. We find most source properties are consistent with them being either radio supernovae (SNe) or supernova remnants (SNRs). We extend the luminosity-diameter relation for SNRs to very small sources and argue this supports models where shell magnetic fields are internally amplified. We also detect one probable SN/SNR transition object candidate and three highly variable sources with possible superluminal motion (approximately 4c) of jet-like features near rapidly varying almost stationary components. These enigmatic sources, which show similarities to the recently discovered superluminal source in M82, might be associated with an AGN or a new radio source class (e.g. intermediate-mass black holes or micro-blazars).
