A method has been developed for measuring the gain of large interferometer and cross-type radio telescope aerials. Use is made of the strong discrete radio sources, whose intensity need not be known, to allow comparison of the gains of the aerials with that of a standard.

Discrete Radio Sources

Since nearly all discrete radio sources of astronomical interest are of insufficient angular extent for their detailed structural properties to be accessible to single-dish radio telescopes, radio interferometry must be employed to gain information on the morphologies of these objects. Recently constructed imaging interferometer arrays which employ the technique of Fourier synthesis, particularly MERLIN and the VLA (Very Large Array), and the more recent VLBI arrays, have given unprecedented imaging capabilities, with the result that our knowledge, and hence perceptions, of discrete radio sources have vastly changed over the last few years. An equally important parallel development has been image processing algorithms. These have vastly improved the quality of information produced by these arrays, so that an instrument such as the VLA can now produce images with speed and quality exceeding original design specifications by factors of 100 to 1000.

Lower Frequencies

The flux densities of 67 non-thermal radio sources have been measured at a frequency of 5000 Mc/s with the CSIRO 210 ft radio telescope at Parkes. The sources were chosen from the stronger objects in the 3C catalogue (Edge et al. 1959), the CTA and CTD catalogues (Harris and Roberts 1960; Kellermann and Read 1965), and the Parkes catalogue (Bolton, Gardner, and Mackey 1964; Price and Milne 1965; Day et al. 1966). In the selection of sources observed in this program, special emphasis was placed on objects whose spectra at lower frequencies showed significant departures from the usual power law with an index near -0�8. Most of the sources reported here have not been previously measured at wavelengths shorter than 10 cm and thus the present observations extend the frequency range of their spectra by nearly a factor of two.

A catalogue has been prepared of the radio sources observed between declinations -50� and -80�, using the Sydney cross-type radio telescope at a wavelength of 3�5 m; a total of 219 sources is listed. This supplements the earlier catalogues for the declination ranges +10� to -20� and -20� to -50�. In addition to the positions and intensities of the sources, angular sizes of 42 of the strongest sources are given. As before, identifications with bright optical objects have been sought, and a number of possible identifications with emission nebulae and bright galaxies are listed. Because of the small area of sky covered by the present catalogue, the numbers of sources are small (compared with those in our earlier catalogues) so that the statistical analysis of their distribution has comparatively low weight.

Angular Diameters

An interferometer of readily varied resolving power has been constructed at Jodrell Bank, and since 1953 it has been used to measure the angular diameters of all but the faintest of the discrete sources reported in the survey of Brown and Hazard [1].
