Very long baseline interferometric (VLBI) observations of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, at 74 MHz with a 12,000-wavelength baseline and at 111 MHz with a 18,500-wavelength baseline, are reported. The fringe amplitudes are strongly varying on a time scale of about 15 to 30 minutes. The location of the extra source must lie outside the supernova remnant shell possibly associated with a concentration of emission north of the shell, or lying outside the gap in the northeastern side of the shell. The flux and spectral index deduced for the compact source depend on the assumed size, with a range of 100 Jy to 500 Jy at 74 MHz. If the source is associated with the supernova explosion, it must have been traveling at least 5000 km s/2.

Catalog of radio observations of Jupiter 1961 to 1964

Combined observations of Jupiter investigating correlation between planet activity and geomagnetic activity, sunspot number, solar radiation and flares

Observations of the Crab Nebula pulsar at meter wavelengths using very long baseline interferometry techniques have been made. At 196.5 MHz, no resolution of the pulsar is observed, all the pulse shapes observed with the interferometers are similar to single-dish profiles, and all the power pulsates. At 111.5 MHz, in addition to the pulsing power, there is always a steady component, presumably due to multipath propagation effects. The pulsar is slightly resolved at 111.5 MHz with an apparent angular diameter of 0.07 plus or minus 0.01 sec. Fifty per cent linear polarization of the time-averaged power is observed at 196.5 MHz; at 111.5 MHz, 20% of the total time-averaged power is polarized, and 35% of the pulsing power is polarized. The steady component is unpolarized. The total flux of the steady plus pulsating component appears to remain constant, while the distribution of power between these components varies.

Observations were made at meter wave-lengths using very long base-line interferometry techniques. At 196.5 MHz no resolution of the pulsar are observed; all the pulse shapes observed with the interferometers are similar to single dish profiles, and all the power pulsates. At 111.5 MHz besides the pulsing power there is always a steady component, presumably due to interstellar scattering. The pulsar is slightly resolved at 111.5 MHz with an apparent angular diameter of 0.07 sec ? 0.01 sec. A 50 percent linear polarization of the time-averaged power is noted at 196.5 MHz; at 111.5 MHz, 20 percent of the total time-averaged power is polarized, 35 percent of the pulsing power is polarized, and the steady component is unpolarized.
