Some Highlights of the 1979 Research Program

By the end of the year observations had been made at the VLA site with an array of 19 antennas. The longest astronomically usable baseline was approximately 24 km between antennas at 17.2 km on the southwest arm and at 10.5 km on the east arm. The first VLA scientific spectral line research was completed during the last quarter of the year.

As part of an extensive study of the dynamical properties of spiral galaxies of all luminosities along the Hubble sequence, the 300-ft telescope was used to survey a sample of high luminosity spirals having optical rotation curves which do not decrease at large distances from the nucleus. The search was carried out in an effort to determine if neutral hydrogen exists at radial distances of two to three times the optical image and if so at what rotational velocities. The presence of significant mass located at large nuclear distances is important for an under¬ standing of galaxy formation and evolution.

Up to seven antennas have been used in conjunction with the 140-ft telescope in a VLBI experiment designed to investigate the detailed structure of the peculiar galactic source SS 433. Elongated structure on the order of an arcsecond in size is apparently roughly aligned with the bulges in the surrounding HII region, W50. The alignment suggests that the two objects are related and pose interesting parallels with extragalactic jet radio sources which are many orders of magni¬ tude larger in size and mass.

The VLA was used in a series of experiments to map the radio brightness distribution of the re¬ gion around the double quasar 0957-561. The asymmetric radio picture is more complicated than the simple two-point optical one of two quasars with identical redshifts. Ultimately, it is hoped to be able to adequately test the hypothesis that these objects are gravitational lens images of a single object. Further monitoring for variability is, however, necessary.

Studies of the distribution of 12C0 and -^CO in ^^ Galaxy have continued in order to probe in detail the association between the atomic and molecular gas distributions. Molecular cloud sizes, masses, typical separations, and radial distributions are under investigation. ^CO molecular features near the galactic center region were further studied in order to pursue several predictions of the model which confines the inner-galaxy gas to a smooth, rotating and expanding, tilted disk.

Fig. 3. This summary for each quarter of the calendar year shows the percentage of time the telescope was scheduled for observing, for routine calibration, maintenance, and installation of new experiments, and the percentage of time lost due to equipment failure, bad weather, and radio interference. The telescope is removed from service for a period of 4-6 weeks each summer, during the wet season. This period is used for maintenance and upgrading of the instrument.

Very Large Array Telescope Summary

During 1979 the principal activity at the VLA site in New Mexico continued to be the construc¬ tion and installation of the array. With the completed portion of the array the limited program of tests, calibrations, and observations that was begun in previous years was greatly expanded, using up to 19 antennas. Observing frequencies included 1400-1700 MHz, 5000 MHz, 15 GHz, and 22 GHz.

Throughout 1979, approximately 1209 hours were scheduled for test and calibration, and fully 2464 additional hours were scheduled for research programs involving 159 observers. A total of 136 visitors and students used the VLA during 1979.
