Proposal Abstract
We propose to observe with VSOP a set of radio-loud AGN identified by
the EGRET telescope to be bright gamma-ray sources. They constitute
the set of identified radio couterparts to Third EGRET Catalog (3EG)
sources which have not been yet observed by VSOP, are bright enough to
be detected on space baselines, and situated so as to offer good uv
coverage during the first quarter of 2000. Comparison of the
VSOP-derived brightness tempertures of these strongly beamed sources
with those of gamma-ray quiet AGN will help elucidate the
statistical result that radio core flux and gamma-ray flux are
correlated.
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.
