Proposal Abstract

The OVV Quasar 3C454.3 has been monitored with ground-based VLBI at wavelengths of 2.8, 3.6 and 6 cm from about 1981. Following radio outbursts, it shows both stationary and superluminal components. Recent 7 mm observations detect the core and the nearest (stationary) component. 2 epochs of VSOP+VLBA+Effelsberg+GB43m observations (of 4 orbits each) are requested at 5 GHz and 22 GHz, in connection with ground-based mm-VLBI. The aim is: spectra and separations of core and components; with full polarization imaging as a secondary objective.

The full Cover Sheets (compressed post-script, typically 50kbytes) can be retrieved. Note that many proposals were reduced in extent by the Scientific Review Committee (e.g. by reducing the number of experiments), however the Cover Sheets contain the full proposal as submitted. Also note that AO1 proposals were submitted in November 1995, and information such as affiliations and contact details has changed for some proposers since that time. The Cover Sheets (and the details on this page, which were derived from the Cover Sheets) may therefore have changed.
