An Interferometer for the Measurement of Radio Source Sizes

Abstract: SummaryModifications have been made to the 85·5 Mc/s cross-type radio telescope at Sydney to permit the measurement of radio source sizes in the range of 10' to l' arc. The basic modification involves the addition of another aerial at a distant site connected by radio link. A new form of automatic gain control ensures very good stability for the system. The modified instrument is described in general terms and calibration techniques are discussed.

“…4, overleaf). For these changes chloroquine was evidently responsible (Hobbs and Calnan, 1958), and comparable observations have since been reported by Calkins (1958), Zeller and Deering (1958), Leopold (1958), Pau and Biaumer (1959), Rogers (1959), Hertzberg (1960), and Goddard (1960). Other anti-malarial drugs which have been seen to produce similar effects are amodiaquin (Camoquin) and hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil), seen by Marx (1959), Kersley andPalin (1959), andScales (1960).…”

“…However, our interpretation of the word" extended" given in the preliminary catalogue (Mills and Slee 1957) needs to be reemphasized-it is that "these (extended or perhaps extended sources) may either be sources of large angular size, or blends of two or more small sources " -it is not possible from a pencil-beam survey alone to differentiate between these two possibilities if the blending sources are close enough to one another. Angular sizes, when they are quoted in the footnotes, have been derived from the radio link interferometer (Goddard, Watkinson, and Mills 1960). These measurements are preliminary and are likely to be improved later.…”

“…This project, inspired in part by an earlier interferometric study conducted by Goddard, Watkinson and Mills (1960), promised exciting results. Although the majority of sources with S ≥ 15 Jy at 85.5 MHz were resolved, no quantitative results were published as there was some question about the reliability of the calibrations and the phasing of the antennas.…”
