Abstract
This is a 2 GRTs VSOP survey experiment. No fringes were found to Halca. As a result, there was only one ground baseline detection for both survey source (J0541-05) and calibrator (0528+134). J0541-05 had a correlated flux density of 0.04Jy at about 105M-lambda. This seemed to be unreasonable low compared with the PLS results of 0.6Jy at 120M-lambda, though the source is variable. The correlated flux density for 0528+134 was ~0.85Jy at 105M-lambda. No PLS results available. No necessary for a re-scheduling as a new experiment has been done on 12-Sep-1999. |
