Proposal Abstract

We wish to observe 0223+341 with VSOP at 1.6 and 5 GHz. The resolution of VSOP at these low frequencies is well matched to high frequency ground based observations at 15 GHz. 0223+341 is a visually convincing, small separation gravitational lens candidate. A comparison of the spectra and sizes of the core-jet structure observed in the two distinct radio components will allow us to test the lensing hypothesis further.

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.
