Proposal Abstract

PKS 1413+135 has properties of BL Lac Objects and a parsec-scale counterjet. This duality makes this object to be unique. Although the jet motion is a key to investigate the nature of such unique source, the motion of any jet-component has not been accurately measured by VLBI up to now. We propose imaging observations with VSOP of this object. It is possible to first obtain the jet motion of PKS 1413+135 by VSOP. This study allows us to clarify the kinematics of parsec-scale radio jets in BL Lac objects.

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.
