Proposal Abstract

We propose to use VSOP at 1.6 and 5 GHz to monitor at high--resolution the jet in the ultraluminous quasar 0836+710. We request to schedule 2 observing epochs separated by ~ 6 months from each other. We intend to study the jet kinematics and physical properties at milliarcsecond scales. We will investigate the changes of speed, brightness and width along the jet. The VSOP observations will be combined with the data from our ongoing VLBA monitoring at 8, 22, and 43 GHz, and with the total spectrum information in order to derive a self--consistent model able to explain both spectral and kinematic changes in the jet.

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.
