21. The low-frequency spectrum of Cygnus A and Cassiopeia A

  • R. J. Lamden (a1) and A. C. B. Lovell (a1)
Extract

The published measurements of the intensity of the radio sources cover a frequency range down to a lower limit of 22·6 Mc./s., at which measurements have been made on Cygnus and Cassiopeia by Hey and Hughes (1954)[1]. Information about the spectrum at still lower frequencies is difficult to obtain because of interference arising from ionospheric reflexion of distant radio transmitters. Some of this trouble can be alleviated by using a narrow pencil-beam radio telescope for reception and the present communication describes measurements made on frequencies of 16·5, 19·0, 22·6 and 30·0 Mc./s. using the 218 ft. transit radio telescope at Jodrell Bank.
