Proposal Abstract

We propose multi-frequency (1.6/5GHz) and multi-epoch VSOP observations of three compact symmetric objects (CSOs). Taylor(1997) showed that 1946+708 has two terminal hot spots and several jets which have a tendency to slow down. There is evidence of that 1946+708 exists in high density region. We think jets motion near the core are faster than apart jets. Ground VLBI can't distinguish core region. But, VSOP observation can disinguish core region. This observation will provide CSO jet dynamics and materials distribution.

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.
