Information is also available for past projects.
The leading models involve an accretion disk and torus around a central dense object, thought to be a supermassive black hole. In this experiment, two CSOs will be studied at a second epoch to measure the speed of separation between their lobes. This information will help confirm evolutionary models andwill further understanding of the different nature of radio galaxies at a young stage of life. Even though most pulsars are too weak to be observed at 5 GHz, this high frequency will circumvent the ionospheric effects encountered at lower frequencies, and will enable more accurate position measurements. The pulsar positions together with the Earth's motion around the Sun, reveal the distances to the pulsars and their speeds with respect to the Earth.
