Proposal Abstract

We propose VSOP observations of the quasar 3C395 simultaneously at 1.6 and 5 GHz. High resolution observations at 1.6 GHz will trace in detail the trajectory of the jet in its way ``through'' stationary component B, at 15 mas from the core of 3C395 and with a rather steep spectrum. At 5 GHz, we will be able to study the details of the compact core-jet region of 3C395, and compare with recent VSOP observations at this frequency and VLBA observations at 15 GHz. The activity in this region is responsible of the total flux density variability observed at several frequencies.

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.
