Proposal Abstract

We propose to undertake co-ordinated Chandra, HALCA+VLBA, and VLBA-only observations of two high luminosty AGN ( 1156+295 and 3C273) which Chandra will be observing during the primary observation period of the third VSOP AO. In this proposal we are applying for 1.6 GHz and 5 GHz HALCA+VLBA observations. We are also submitting a similar proposal for VLBA-only observations at 8, 15, 22, and 43 GHz. Using the radio and X-ray data we hope to test the standard syncrotron-self Compton model for radio and X-ray emission in AGN jets. We also want to seatch for evidence of `non-standard' emission such as induced Compton scattering.

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 AO3 proposals were submitted in October 1999, 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.
