Proposal Abstract

This proposal seeks two epoch 5 and 22 GHz observations in order to probe the fine structure of PKS 1921-293, one of the strongest, most compact radio sources known. Ground-based VLBI observations indicate a source size that is a fraction of the beam size: to determine the true structure of the core SVLBI observations are essential. The two epoch observations proposed here, which will be supplemented by our on-going multi-frequency monitoring, will enable us to determine the size and brightness temperature of the source and its components, and their variation. In addition, the two epochs will allow the internal source motions to be gauged.

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.
