Re: LCS-2 proposal. The second draft.

[Chris Phillips <Chris.Phillips@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Leonid,

A couple more small suggestions - excuse any poor grammar etc - I have  
just got back from carols in the park. Possibly something you poor  
Northern Hemisphere dwellers would not get to partake in but it means  
it is now late and I have had a couple (no more!) of beers.  But not a  
good proposal reading combination.

- Past Observations

I would consider rewording this to remove reference to v230. I think  
the two epochs so far for the actual proposal (v254a and v271a) have  
gone so well that we do not need to refer to an even older experiment  
- which did have different goals etc.

- Why calibrators are needed

"These observations will also address long-term scientiïc goals of  
proposers for creation of a
homogeneous, ïux limited sample of compact radio sources." =>

"These observations will also address *a* long-term scientiïc goal**  
of proposers for *the* creation of a
homogeneous, ïux limited sample of compact radio sources."


"Proposed observations will help to extend the complete sample to the  
whole sky" =>

"*The proposed* observations will help to extend the complete sample  
to the whole sky"


"The complete sample will allow to generalize various statistics, such  
as compactness, the
brightness temperature for the core and jet components, the dependence  
between the angular
size of the core-jet region and the redshift, and others, to the  
entire population of compact radio
sources. " =>

Proposed Observations

"v254f" => "v254a"
