The positions of 33 radio sources previously identified with distant clusters of galaxies were remeasured more accurately to check the identifications. Observations were made at 1410 and 2650 MHz with the 210 ft radio telescope of the Australian National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Parkes, and at 408 MHz with the east-west arm of the Mills Cross at the Molonglo Radio Astronomical Observatory of the University of Sydney. It was found that 21 sources are situated within 5 min of arc of the centres of the corresponding clusters.

From Abell's (1958) list of clusters of galaxies, 137 clusters of distance group 5 were observed at 1410 MHz with the 210 ft radio telescope of the Australian National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Parkes. The detected radio sources were further confirmed hy observations at 2650 MHz with the same telescope and at 408 MHz with the east-west arm of the Mills Cross at the Molonglo Radio Astronomical Observatory. A total of 25 radio sources was detected within 5' arc of the centres of corresponding clusters of galaxies, while the mathematical expectation of the number of random coincidences with clusters is about two or three

AbstractIn this work, using the database of the university of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO), we determined the brightness temperatures, TB for a sample of 167 radio sources. The value of TB is in a range of log TB(K) = 10.46 to 20.08, which suggested that the boosting factors are in a range of δ = 0.41 to 41.26.

Academic Year

In the spring of 1964, having qualified for a sabbattical leave from the University of Illinois and having recently completed two years as Chairman of the Visiting Committee of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, I inquired of the NRAO staff as to whether a desk and possibly some augmentation of my University half-salary might be available at Green Bank for the following academic year. Instead I was invited to join the staff as a fulltime employee and to take a coordinating role in the development of the “very large array” as Chairman of the Design Committee. The University granted me a year’s leave of absence which eventually stretched to four years.

AbstractIn August 2017 a new radio telescope, the Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory (GRAO), was officially inaugurated at Kuntunse, Ghana. The GRAO is a former satellite Earth station and now the first operational station in the African VLBI Network (AVN). The Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics (JBCA), supported by the UK’s STFC/Newton Fund, has developed a new pulsar timing system (Hebe) for the GRAO. We present some aspects of the design of Hebe and an outline of the first pulsar detection at GRAO.

AbstractUsing three radio databases of the university of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO), the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), and the Metsähovi Observatory, we analyzed the radio light curves by the power spectral analysis and CLEANest method in search for possible periodicity. Multiple periods are found in some sources at multi-frequencies. We adopted the wavelets for period analysis of unevenly sampled time series to search for the evolution of the parameters (period, amplitude) of possible periodicities. Some possible variation of these parameters are found.

A number of surveys have been carried out at a frequency of 5 GHz at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and at the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie (MPIfR), with the aim of determining the number-flux density relation for the sources detected and also of obtaining their radio spectra and optical identifications. The surveys fall into two categories: first, the strong source (S) surveys, which are intended in due course to cover the whole northern sky and to be complete above a flux density of about 0.6 Jy; second, surveys of limited areas of sky down to lower levels of the flux density.
