Proposal Abstract

The study of compact radio structures in extremely high redshift quasars is focused on two scientific topics:

{\sl (i)} Frequency-dependent properties of the milliarcsecond structures in radio--loud quasars vis-a-vis various phenomena at other wavelengths, particularly in the X-ray band.

{\sl (ii)} Creation of a basis for cosmological tests using the milliarcsecond structure of QSOs as a ``standard'' object.

With this proposal we continue a study which has begun with the VSOP AO\#1 project V047. The present list of sources comprises 8 first epoch observations and 9 second epoch observations (the latter is a continuation of the project V047). The proposal is based on the results of the project V047 available to date.


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.
