Proposal Abstract

We request 6 and 18 cm observations of 2 low power extended radio galaxies (FR I). The aims of requested observations are: a) to map the inner region of the parsec scale jets and to measure the angular scale of the nuclear emission; b) to compare at high resolution the nuclear properties in high and low power radio sources; c) to resolve radio jets to test present models which assume that radio jets have a high velocity inner region surrounded by a slower moving shear where interaction with the surrounding medium occurs; d) to compare with first epoch VSOP maps to derive the jet velocity.

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 AO2 proposals were submitted in May 1998, 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.
