Proposal Abstract
We propose to image the extremely compact core-jet of the nearby spiral galaxy
M81 with a linear resolution of up to 1,000 AU. Our goals are to (1) reveal
unequivocally the bent jet, (2) search for components in it to measure their
proper motion, (3) investigate the spectral indices of the core and the jet and
address the question of jet fading, and (5) contribute to the discussion of
a continuum of AGN activity with radio luminosities ranging from that of
SgrA^{*} to that of M81 and those of powerful radio galaxies and quasars.
We propose one monitoring experiment at 1.6 GHz with 7 large antennas (EF, JO,
GO, NR, RO, UD, VL -- minimum EF, GO or RO, VL) and one single experiment
at 5 GHz with 4 large antennas (EF, NR, UD, VL -- minimum EF, UD, VL).
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.
