Proposal Abstract

The nearby broad line radio galaxy 3C390.3 (FR II type with 1-sided jet) is well studied from radio to X-ray. Our VLBI investigations have shown that the active core exhibits a 1-sided jet with superluminal and stationary components. While the jet is straight from about 5 mas out to the extended lobe, in the inner 4 mas the trajectory is curved as visible at high resolution. 2 epochs of VSOP+VLBA+EF+NR observations (of 4 orbits each) are requested at 5 GHz and 1.6 GHz. The aims are: determination of the spectra, trajectories, and separations of core and components, especially in the flaring region (~ 4 mas from core); probing the B field structure and environment of the jet forming region.

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.
