Extragalactic Research at Owens Valley Radio Observatory

这个奖将资助一个非常活跃的星系外天文学研究项目，该项目由超长基线干涉测量（VLBI）领域的一个先锋小组继续进行。除了为美国和世界大部分地区的Mark II VLBI观测提供相关服务外，这些研究人员还将继续他们对活动星系的研究。并尝试区分这些物体的一些相互竞争的模型。他们还将积极首次使用甚长基线阵列射电望远镜，既作为这种新仪器的用户，又作为该设施数据简化和分析软件的开发人员。

This award funds continuation of a very active research program in extragalactic astronomy by one of the pioneering groups in the area of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), In addition to providing correlator services for Mark II VLBI observations throughout the U.S. and much of the world, these researchers will continue their investigations of active galaxies, and attempt to discriminate between a number of competing models for these objects. They will also be active in the first use of the Very Long Baseline Array of radio-telescopes, both as users of this new instrument and a developers of software for data reduction and analysis for that facility.
