Proposal Abstract

We propose to determine scattering screen distances and microarcsecond angular size estimates for a sample of core-dominated sources using VSOP angular size measurements. To achieve this we plan three separate but related investigations: the first is for observations of a sample of IDV and known core-dominated sources. The second is for GOT observations at 1.6 GHz of future Survey sources, and the third is for access to existing 1.6 and 4.8 GHz data for known strong core-dominated 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 AO5 proposals were submitted in February 2001, and information such as affiliations and contact details has changed for some proposers since that time.
