Proposal Abstract

We propose to obtain high-dynamic range images of 4C39.25 and 4C73.18 at 1.6 and 5 GHz for the purpose of mapping the turnover frequency distribution in these sources. The matching data at 8.4, 15, and 22 GHz will be obtained from supporting ground-based observations with the VLBA. The turnover frequency maps will be used for measuring and studying fine spectral variations along and across the jet. In these maps, we expect to be able to localize the regions of shocked emission, and search for possible presence of a thermal plasma surrounding a relativistic channel in the jet. Such data will provide useful constraints for the models applied to these sources.


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.
