Proposal Abstract

We propose to conduct sensitive space-VLBI observations of three low scattered OH masers using world largest ground telescopes in conjunction with the HALCA. This will allow us to examine maser spots with full available resolution of space-ground interferometer in contrast to the previous study in which the resolution was limited by the low signal to noise ratio.

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 AO5 proposals were submitted in February 2001, and information such as affiliations and contact details has changed for some proposers since that time.
