Proposal Abstract

We propose to observe the continuum and water vapor maser in NGC3079, which is the most luminous water maser source known. Lack of maser emission at systemic velocity of the galaxy suggest different amplification mechanism from the circumstance of NGC4258. Continuum emission from unresolved core in NGC3079 is about 30 times stronger than NGC4258. It is crucial to investigate ditribution of maser spots relative to the continuum source. Furthermore, we also measure the position of high velocity maser emission newly found with the NRO 45-m telescope

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.
