Long Baseline

We present very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of 179 radio sources in the COSMOS field with extremely high sensitivity using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) together with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) (VLBA+GBT) at 1.4 GHz, to explore the faint radio population in the flux density regime of tens of μJy. Here, the identification of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is based on the VLBI detection of the source, meaning that it is independent of X-ray or infrared properties. The milli-arcsecond resolution provided by the VLBI technique implies that the detected sources must be compact and have large brightness temperatures, and therefore they are most likely AGN (when the host galaxy is located at z ≥ 0.1). On the other hand, this technique only allows us to positively identify when a radio-active AGN is present, in other words, we cannot affirm that there is no AGN when the source is not detected. For this reason, the number of identified AGN using VLBI should be always treated as a lower limit. We present a catalogue containing the 35 radio sources detected with the VLBA+GBT, ten of which were not previously detected using only the VLBA. We have constructed the radio source counts at 1.4 GHz using the samples of the VLBA and VLBA+GBT detected sources of the COSMOS field to determine a lower limit for the AGN contribution to the faint radio source population. We found an AGN contribution of >40−75% at flux density levels between 150 μJy and 1 mJy. This flux density range is characterised by the upturn of the Euclidean-normalised radio source counts, which implies a contribution of a new population. This result supports the idea that the sub-mJy radio population is composed of a significant fraction of radio-emitting AGN, rather than solely by star-forming galaxies, in agreement with previous studies.

Long Term Variations

We investigate the long-term flux density variations of the compact radio source Sgr A∗ at the galactic center by combining recent VLA observations with previous Green Bank interferometer data. We present radio flux density light-curves for Sgr A∗ at 20, 11, 6 and 3.7 cm from 1974 to 1987. Long-term variability with a timescale of at least 5 years is seen at 20 cm and there is evidence for more rapid variations at the shorter wavelengths. The variability timescales at 20, 11 and 6 cm fit the λ2 scaling predicted by the theory of refractive scintillation suggesting that the variability could be due to this cause. However, the timescales are relatively short, implying an unusually high velocity in the scattering screen. The modulation index of the variability is large and relatively independent of wavelength.

Optical Identifications

The radio source PKS 0511-48 is among the hundred strongest southern sources at low frequencies. It was catalogued in the Parkes survey (Ekers 1969) and mapped with the Molonglo Cross at 408 MHz by Schilizzi and McAdam (1975) with a resolution of 2′ .6 arc. It appeared in that work as a complex source, with an integrated flux density of 8.8 Jy. A search for optical identifications was made by Tritton and Schilizzi (1973), but none were found to a level of B ~ 19. We have inspected the field on the ESO B survey film, and find a group of ~ 20 faint galaxies (approximately 19-20 mag).

Flux Density Measurement

The first trial of equipment designed for 400 Mc./s. absolute flux density measurement was completed just prior to this symposium. Using the midday sun, the gain of a 7·5 metre Würzburg (equipped with a TE°11 circular wave-guide feed) was found by comparison with an ‘optimum’ pyramidal horn of 20·2 square wave-lengths aperture. Cable losses and signal powers were measured against the available noise power from two co-axial resistors, one at ambient temperature and the other stabilized at the boiling-point of pure nitrogen.
