Proposal Abstract

We propose for 1.6 GHz and 5.0 GHz VSOP observations on consecutive days to be made of five radio-bright, flat-spectrum sources, maximizing both HALCA's observing efficiency and the scientific output as, besides probing the source structure, the spectral index distribution can be mapped. VSOP observations of these sources will in most instances be the first imaging VLBI observation, and in all instances will be, and will remain for some time, the highest resolution image made of these sources.

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.
