Proposal Abstract

We propose single-epoch polarization observations of the two sources 0235+164 and 2121+053 at 5 GHz. These sources were selected using multifrequency (1--22 GHz) single dish observations of 550 compact extragalactic objects in 1997 on RATAN-600. We have selected sources that had strong radio outbursts in 1997 at centimeter wavelengths and sufficiently high polarized flux density for space interferometry. For these sources, there is little or no information about their milliarcsecond structure. The proposed observations would provide useful information about the relationship between the outbursts detected in our single-dish observations and the evolution of total and linear polarization milliarcsecond structure of the compact radio jets in these sources. These data would allow us to study the evolution of the magnetic field structure in new-born compact jet components that may have been born during the outbursts.

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.
