We report preliminary results of monitoring the flux from the Wolf-Rayet object WR 146 with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope at 21 cm since 1989. We find the average flux density slowly rising in the period 1989–1997, with evidence of shorter time-scale variability.

AbstractWe observed the Galactic centre (GC) region with the partially upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) using a wideband system in frequency ranges of 300– 500 MHz with 16 antennas. Preliminary results are presented here. Sgr-A* is clearly detected down to 450 MHz. Sgr-A West slowly disappears at lower frequencies across the band. By taking cross-cuts across the known major-axis of Sgr-A*, we measure its total flux density across the band to be 0.4 Jy consistent with what is expected from earlier results. It clearly indicates lack of absorption from Sgr-A West. Its spectral index is consistent with its higher frequency value of +0.3.

AbstractExtreme scattering events (ESEs) are dramatic variations of the flux density at gigahertz frequencies caused by ray path distortions within an isolated inhomogeneity (‘plasma lens’) in the interstellar medium. These events are characterised by a deep flux density minimum in the light curve with, in some cases, surrounding maxima. The variability time scales range from weeks to months. These phenomena show a strong frequency dependence, in which the variability amplitudes increase with wavelength. During an intraday variability (IDV) monitoring project (March 2000), a feature resembling an ESE-like event appeared in the variable light curve of 0954+658, however with a time scale of less than two days. We will discuss this effect and its implications for a better description of the interstellar medium.

AbstractWe present preliminary results for our study of mutual phenomena of the Galilean satellites performed at radio wavelengths with the Medicina and Noto antennas of the Istituto di Radioastronomia - INAF, and with the Effelsberg 100-m radio telescope of the Max-Planck-Institute for Radioastronomy, Bonn. Measurements of the radio flux density variation during the mutual occultations of Io by Europa and Ganymede were carried out during the PHEMU09 campaign at 22 GHz and 43 GHz. Flux density variations observed at radio wavelengths are consistent with the typical optical patterns measured when partial occultations occur.

AbstractThis report presents preliminary results of daily observations, over 60 and 100 days, of a complete, flux-limited sample of radio sources with flat spectra. The existence of flicker up to 21.7 GHz was confirmed, for sources with flat spectra, on a time-scale of 4 days. A model explaining the flux density variations of the unique radio source 0524+034, on long and short time-scales, by an intrinsic mechanism is proposed.

We present the results of simultaneous observations of the transitional millisecond pulsar (tMSP) candidate CXOU J110926.4–650224 with the XMM-Newton satellite and the MeerKAT telescope. The source was found at an average X-ray luminosity of LX ≃ 7 × 1033 erg s−1 over the 0.3−10 keV band (assuming a distance of 4 kpc) and displayed a peculiar variability pattern in the X-ray emission, switching between high, low and flaring modes on timescales of tens of seconds. A radio counterpart was detected at a significance of 7.9σ with an average flux density of ≃33 μJy at 1.28 GHz. It showed variability over the course of hours and emitted a ≃10-min long flare just a few minutes after a brief sequence of multiple X-ray flares. No clear evidence for a significant correlated or anticorrelated variability pattern was found between the X-ray and radio emissions over timescales of tens of minutes and longer. CXOU J110926.4–650224 was undetected at higher radio frequencies in subsequent observations performed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array, when the source was still in the same X-ray sub-luminous state observed before, down to a flux density upper limit of 15 μJy at 7.25 GHz (at 3σ). We compare the radio emission properties of CXOU J110926.4–650224 with those observed in known and candidate tMSPs and discuss physical scenarios that may account for its persistent and flaring radio emissions.

AbstractThe light-curve between 1964 and 1977 for the variable M2II giant HD 65750 = V341 Car is derived from 77 photographic and 83 photoelectric UBV measurements and analyzed. It is concluded that the light variations of the star are irregular and due to variable extinction in the circumstellar nebula. The appearence of the visible reflection nebula IC 2220 into which HD 65750 is embedded, has been found to vary on a time scale of four years.

Flare events on a time scale of the order of one second were observed on EV Lac by Gershberg and Petrov [1], Zalinian and Tovmassian [2], Tsvetkov, Antov and Tsvetkova [3]. The nature of such phenomena is very mysterious. We hope that monitoring of EV Lac with high time resolution will yield the information about growing and decay times as well as fine structure of the light curve and color one. A short-lived flare of EV Lac was recorded in U and V bands in 1989, September 3 2h 14m 30s UT. The duration of the event was about 150 milliseconds.

A sample of 174 methanol sources has been observed with the 32 m Toruń radio telescope at four or five epochs separated by 3-7 months. Observations of the 6.7 GHz maser line revealed that about 80% of sources are variable. 20% of sources showed strong variations of the integrated flux density usually on time-scales of 5-12 months. These variations were associated with strong changes in the relative intensities of maser features. Methanol emission from five sources disappeared. The time-scales of variability were longer than 12 months for only 23% of variable sources. It is suggested that the variability of methanol emission is related to the dynamics of the maser regions.
