Proposal Abstract

We propose to observe two faint mJy-level compact radio sources using the technique of phase referencing with VSOP and a global VLBI array (EVN+VLBA). Both sources and a superb phase-calibrator 1156+295, all lie well within HALCA's primary beam at 18cm. The observations will test whether phase-referencing is possible with HALCA over relatively large angular separations. The results may be of particular relevance These cases may be typical of the case likely to be encountered by second generation SVLBI missions.

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.
