Proposal Abstract
The Orion-KL region is one of the well-studied star forming region.
It has all 3 major maser emisson, H_2O, OH and SiO.
So this is important source to know about the outflow in this area,
the emitting mechanisum of those maser lines, and the structure and
the environment of IRc2 (source I), young stellar object.
It was believed that the OH emission from Orion is too extend to
observe with space-baseline. We found that it is marginally possible
to observe with VSOP, from the analysis of pre-launch operation
test observation in 1996.
Therefore, we propose a observation to confirm the posibility of
VSOP obseration, before submitting more complicate observations,
such as polarization, multi-epoch observation.
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.
