Galactic Radio

As part of the programme of observations with the large Cambridge radio telescope, a survey of the integrated radio emission has been made using one of the four elements of the interferometer. At a wave-length of 3·7 metres this aerial has beam-widths to half-power points of 2° in right ascension and 15° in declination. The use of a long wave-length makes it possible to obtain accurate measurements of the brightness temperature of the sky in regions away from the galactic plane. It is with the radiation from these regions that this paper is primarily concerned.

The Galaxy

To study the radio emission of bright galaxies, it has been found that their coordinates are needed with an accuracy considerably greater than that available from the NGC and IC catalogues. Their radio emission is usually weak and often intermingled with the emission of more distant radio galaxies and quasars. Unless a reasonably precise position is available it is not always possible to decide what proportion of any observed emission is associated with the galaxy. In the course of a series of observations with the Mills Cross radio telescope at the Molonglo Radio Observatory, it was necessary to remeasure the optical positions of the galaxies on the programme. These positions are likely to be of general use and are therefore presented separately from the results of the radio bservations.

The structure of small diameter radio sources can be investigated by studying the scintillation of the source due to the interplanetary medium when the line of sight approaches the Sun. Observations of radio source scintillation are currently being undertaken with the separate arms of the 1 mile radio telescope at the Molonglo Observatory. The EW arm allows successive transit observations with three fan beams, 1′.4 EW by 4°.2 NS at 408 MHz, bandwidth 2.5 MHz. Sources transit the half-power points of each beam in 6 sec δ seconds of time (δ is the source declination). The NS arm gives eleven fan beams at neighbouring declination, 1′.5 sec Z NS by 4° EW (Z is the zenith angle). Complete transit of a NS beam takes 15 sec δ minutes.

AbstractWe report about the multi-frequency (1–30 GHz) daily monitoring of the radio flux variability of the three microquasars: SS433, GRS1915+105 and Cyg X-3 during 2005–2006. After a quiescent radio emission we have detected a drop down of the fluxes (∼20 mJy) from Cyg X-3, a sign of the following bright flare, and indeed a 1 Jy flare was detected on 2 February 2006 after 18 days of quenched radio emission. The daily spectra of the flare in the maximum was found flat from 2 to 110 GHz, using the quasi-simultaneous observations at 109 GHz with the RT45m telescope and the NMA millimeter array of Nobeyama Radio Observatory in Japan. Several bright radio flaring events (1–15 Jy) followed during the state of highly variable and intense 1–12 keV X-ray emission (∼0.5 Crab), monitored in the RXTE ASM program. We discussed various spectral and temporal characteristics of the detected 180 day light curves from three microquasars in comparison with the Rossi XTE ASM data.

AbstractHESS J1731−347 a.k.a. SNR G353.6−0.7 is one of the five known very high energy (VHE, Energy > 0.1 TeV) shell-type supernova remnants. We carried out Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of this TeV SNR in 1390, 610 and 325 MHz bands. We detected the 325 and 610 MHz radio counterparts of the SNR G353.6−0.7 (Nayana et al. 2017). We also determined the spectral indices of individual filaments and our values are consistent with the non-thermal radio emission. We compared the radio morphology with that of VHE emission. The peak in radio emission corresponds to the faintest feature in the VHE emission. We explain this anti-correlated emission in a possible leptonic origin of the VHE γ-rays.

Purpose: The overview of the scientifi c papers devoted to the study of the solar decameter radio emission with the world’s largest UTR-2 radio telescope (Ukraine) published for the last 50 years. Design/methodology/approach: The study and analysis of the scientifi c papers on both sporadic and quiet (thermal) radiation of the Sun recorded with the UTR-2 radio telescope at the decameter wavelength range. Findings: The most signifi cant observational and theoretical results of the solar radio emission studies obtained at the Institute of Radio Astronomy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine for the last 50 years are given. Conclusions: For the fi rst time, at frequencies below 30 MHz, the Type II bursts, Type IV bursts, S-bursts, drift pairs and spikes have been recorded. The dependences of these bursts parameters on frequency within the frequency band of 9 to 30 MHz were obtained. The models of their generation and propagation were suggested. Moreover, for the fi rst time the fi ne time-frequency structures of the Type III bursts, Type II bursts, Type IV bursts, U- and J-bursts, S-bursts, and drift pairs have been observed due to the high sensitivity and high time-frequency resolutions of the UTR-2 radio telescope. The super-fi ne structure of Type II bursts with a “herringbone” structure was identifi ed, which has never been observed before. New types of bursts were discovered: “caterpillar” bursts, “dog-leg” bursts, Type III bursts with decay, Type III bursts with changing drift rate sign, Type III-like bursts, Jb- and Ub-bursts, etc. An interpretation of the unusually high drift rates and drift rates with alternating signs of the Type III-like bursts was suggested. Based on the dependence of spike durations on frequency, the coronal plasma temperature profi le at the heliocentric heights of 1.5–3RS was determined. Usage of the heliographic and interferometric methods gave the possibility to start studies of the spatial characteristics – sizes and locations of the bursts emission sources. Thus, it was shown that at the decameter band, the Type III burst durations were defi ned by the emission source linear sizes, whereas the spike durations were governed by the collision times in the source plasma. It was experimentally proved that the effective brightness temperatures of the sources of solar sporadic radio emission at the decameter band may reach values of 1014–1015 K. In addition, it was found that the radii of the quiet Sun at frequencies 20 and 25 MHz are close to the distances from the Sun at which the local plasma frequency is equal to the corresponding observed frequency of radio emission in the Baumbach–Allen model.

Solar radio emission at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths originates in the chromosphere and transition region and is a useful probe for the temperature and density in these regions. High spatial resolution observations of the quiet sun provide valuable information on the structure of the solar atmosphere. We have performed high resolution (~ 6″ (E-W) x 15″ (N-S)) observations at 6 cm with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) in June 1976 in order to search for the radio analog of the supergranulation network and to study the extent and symmetry of limb brightening. The use of the WSRT for high spatial resolution solar mapping has been described by Bregman and Felli (1976), Kundu et al. (1977), and others.

AbstractThree bright pulsars (B0950+08, B1133+16, and B1929+10) were observed with the 70-m radio telescope in Tidbinbilla at a frequency of 1650 MHz using the S2 Data Acquisition System which provided continuous recording of pulsar signals in two conjugate bands of B=16 MHz each. Parameters of microstructure have been analyzed using the predetection dispersion removal technique.

Polarized Radiation

Measurements of the intensities of radio emission from the three most powerful discrete sources were carried out early in 1955 at the Gorky radio astronomical station ‘Zimenky’ (latitude 56° 9·5′). The arrangement used for these measurements is described elsewhere [1]. The main part of the aerial consists of a paraboloid, 4 metres in diameter, on an alt-azimuth mounting. The beam has an opening (between half-power points) equal to 32′. The effective area of the aerial was determined by comparison with the standard megaphone antenna for solar radio emission [2] and equals 10 m.2. The efficiency of the aerial is determined according to the method of measurement of the proper radio emission of the aerial [3]. The reception device is of a modulation type. The fluctuation threshold of the sensitivity of the device for the used time constant of 20 sec. equals 0°·6 C., which corresponds to a flux of non-polarized radiation of 1·65 × 10−24 w.m.−2 (c./s.)−1 reaching the aerial.
