Proposal Abstract

We propose 5 GHz observations of the Vela pulsar using the VSOP. With previously-made 1.6 GHz observations, these will clarify the dependence of the size of the pulsar's emission region on observing frequency. This dependence, and the structure of the emission region at the higher frequency, will provide important information on pulsar emission mechanisms.

The full Cover Sheets (compressed post-script, typically 50kbytes) can be retrieved. Note that some 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 AO4 proposals were submitted in October 2000, and information such as affiliations and contact details has changed for some proposers since that time.
