Proposal Abstract
Earlier Observations at wavelengths 6cm and 3.6cm of the quasar 4C71.07 have
revealed interesting misalignments between the apparent direction of
the jet and the polarized structure. Faraday rotation is suspected as
being the cause of such misalignments.
Observations at three wavelengths are now required to confirm
with confidence that the rotation is the result of the Faraday effect.
Ground-based VLBI observations at lower frequencies, where the effect
of Faraday rotation increases, are impossible due to the loss of resolution.
Therefore VSOP-ground observations at 18cm of 4C71.07, and two other quasars
expected of undergoing Faraday rotation (3C380 and 1928+738), are
requested.
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.
