COVER PAGE
Title: Black hole discovery Authors: Ivan Petrov, John Smith (Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia) Abstract: 100 words limit. Pro ject type: KSP Select from the fol lowing: KSP or GOT. Pro ject science category: AGN Select from the fol lowing list, more than one can be selected: AGN, pulsars, masers, ISM, astrometry, gravity, other. Team contact name and e-mail address: Ivan Petrov (e-mail: Ivan.Petrov@gmail.com ) Total observing time request: 60 hrs Should be < 100 hours if GOT. Number of independent observing segments and typical range of pro jected baselines required: 20 (3-30 Earth diameters) Specific dates and time intervals requested: If your experiment requires specific dates and UT ranges, please, indicate them: February 1, 2015: 08:00-16:00 UT -- M87 imaging, option 1; February 9, 2015: 08:00-16:00 UT -- M87 imaging, option 2; March 1, 2015: 14:00-24:00 UT -- Cen-A imaging. or in case of fringe surveys a general request could be made like: any day/time around the year when targets are visible for RadioAstron at requested pro jected baselines. Observing band(s) [select from P - 92cm, L - 18cm, C - 6cm, K - 1.3cm]: C and K also indicate specific central observing frequency, if needed, e.g., for spectral line observations, fol lowing the RadioAstron users handbook Source list or sample selection criteria if more than 30 targets; indicate priorities, if desired: M87 12:30:49.423382 +12:23:28.04366 (J2000) Cen-A 13:25:27.615211 -43:01:08.80473 (J2000) or: Fifty SMBH candidates within 100 Mpc from Earth with correlated flux density greater than 100 mJy at 6 cm. Ground array support · Optimal: all GRTs around the world · Minimal acceptable: One 100-m telescope (Effelsberg or GBT) Ground radio telescopes (GRTs) requested within this proposal: Sv, Zc, Bd, Kl, Ev Telescopes which have committed to co-observing with RadioAstron: Sv, Bd, Zc, Ev, Ud, Ro, Ys, Nt, Mc, Tr, Kl, Jb1, Ur, Sh, Tm, Hh. see special constraints and comments in the `RadioAstron AO-2 document', section 2.4. 1


GRTs or networks (to be) requested in a separate proposal directly to the appropriate ground facilities: EVN or GBT Correlator: ASC Make sure to check the `RadioAstron AO-2 document', section 2.5, for other options which are MPIfR-DiFX, SFXC. Special constraints: ... Expected length of this cover page is two pages, however, there is no formal limit.

Scientific and technical justification, technical details
Please use an 11+ pt font size and limit the length of the justification to six/four pages including figures, tables and references for KSP/GOT proposals, respectively. 1. Introduction -- providing concise background information necessary to assess the scientific merits of the research proposed; outlining the reasons for the project to constitute key science area for RadioAstron if the KSP-type is selected. If the project is a continuation of previous observations -- discuss preliminary results of ESP and/or AO-1 RadioAstron observations. 2. Research Goals -- describing the main goals of the observations proposed and their impact on the broader field of astrophysics. 3. Observational Strategy -- describing the methodology of observations. 4. AO-2 Observations -- describing specific observations and time request for the AO-2. 5. Technical Justification -- describing the observing modes to be employed, discussing the feasibility of proposed observations, optimal and minimum acceptable ground support required for the project, required detection limits, dynamic range, and uv-coverage of observations. The KSP proposals should additionally address the following issues: 6. Team Capacity -- reviewing the team capacities to execute the timely completion of the project and publication of results. 7. Overall duration of the program -- providing an estimate of the overall observing time required for completion of the project if the full experiment is intended to be carried over several AO periods.
