Proposal Abstract
We aim to impose restrictions on the condition of the gamma-ray emission
mechanism by observing pc-scale jet motion of gamma-ray loud AGNs.
It is suggested that external low energy photons reradiate as gamma-rays
by the inverse-Compton scattering and the gamma-ray radiation beam is
narrower than the synchrotron radiation beam for this model.
We show that these conditions is valid for gamma-ray loud AGNs which existing
data are available and that it is expected to detect the superluminal motion
for all gamma-ray loud AGNs.
We have already observed three gamma-ray loud AGNs by VSOP at AO2 epoch
and we propose second-epoch observation of these sources.
If we detect the superluminal motion for these sources then it is a
evidence supporting the above model.

(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.
