Proposal Abstract

We propose multi-epock Halca-VLBA observations at 1.6GHz and 5GHz with dual polarization mode toward 3C395. This source is known to have both stationary and superluminal components in their parsec-scale structure. High angular resolution at this frequency allow us to confirm the shock-in-jet model for the stationary jets and understand the role of magnetic field. Observations at these two low frequencies can yield RM (Rotation Measure) map which help us to see, in addition to get electron density and magnetic field strength information, three dimensional structure of the magnetic field surrounding the jet if there is asymmetry in the RM 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.
