Proposal Abstract

We propose to push the observing limits of VSOP beyond what has previously been attempted and make the highest dynamic ranges VSOP images possible of the superluminal quasar 1918+738, the closest GPS source 1718-649, and the high redshift quasar 0917+449 using observations that span multiple days. In the course of making these images we hope to discover how dynamic range depends on the number of ground telescopes used, the length of time a source is observed for, and the type of (u,v) coverage. We hope these images will be among the best if not the best examples of images that can be made with Space VLBI.

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.
