Proposal Abstract

An on-going multi-epoch survey of 132 strong compact Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is being made at 2cm (15 GHz) with the VLBA and 85\ Program. We propose for simultaneous 1.6 and 5 GHz VSOP observations, which will be matched with contemporaneous 2cm survey observations to measure the brightness temperatures and spectral index distributions of these sources. The two sources in this proposal supplement the three in our AO4 proposal, and have been carefully selected for their good \uv coverage in late 2001 and early 2002 and to provide strong detections on baselines to HALCA.


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.
