Proposal Abstract

We propose space VLBI observations of four quasars at 1.6 GHz and 5 GHz. These sources show extreme misalignment between the mas scale jet and the more extended kiloparsec-scale structure. Simultaneous VLBA observations will be proposed at 15 and 22 GHz in order to study the physics of the parsec-scale environments which may play a substantial role in jet misalignments. Superluminal motion is present or expected in these objects which can be studied by second epoch observations at 5 GHz.

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.
