Proposal Abstract

The radio galaxy 3C75 has been known for a pair of twin jets emanating from the double nucleus. The jets bend to merge into twin tails, suggesting a binary motion of the nuclei. This is the only one radio source which has two prominent radio nuclei in a galaxy, so it is the best source to investigate such interaction. We thus propose to observe these nuclei to investigate by HALCA and ground telescopes at 1.6 and 5 GHz, whether or not they are bounded or interacted with each other. As the intensities of the nuclei are relatively weak, we need the most sensitive Arecibo telescope.

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.
