Scientific paper

We wish to use the FGS to study the morphology of bright AGN's known to have radio structure on the scale of several milliarcseconds. Because their structures are linear, these objects are ideal for investigating the feasibility of using the HST FGS to attain ultra-high resolutions. We will also compare our results with relevant FOC observations to help model the larger scale structure and to compare deconvolution techniques. Several exciting problems concerning AGNs (and their jets) can be tackled uniquely by this experiment, including: the relation of optical continuum in AGNs to synchrotron jets; a search for superluminal jet expansion in the optical; and spatial resolution of the broad-line region. Following detailed analysis of the observations proposed here, we would propose repeat observations of those source where structure is detected, in order to search for superluminal motion or other time variability.
