星际闪烁和BLO0716＋71的快速射电变化

利用星际介质的折射闪烁解释在ＢＬ Ｌａｃ天体０７１６＋７１中观测到的射电快速变化的结构函数，确定了对射电源的结构和散射介质特性所提出的条件，为了解释这个源内观测到的射电变化的“快模式”和“慢模式”的转换，必须考虑射电源内致密结构的角径或运动状态的快速变化，射电变化和光学变化的相 性仍然是折射闪烁解释的难于克服的困难。     

脉冲星PSR2217＋47的折射闪烁和星际介质电子密度的涨落谱

本文探讨脉冲星ＰＳＲ２２１７＋４７分米波段流量变化的星际折射闪烁解释。利用衍射闪烁测量所获得的星际介质参数和连续介质的折射闪烁理论，计算了多频率（０．３１，０．４２，０．６１和０．７５ＧＨｚ）上的折射闪烁结构函数，并与观测结构函数加以比较。结果表明，如果星际介质电子密度不均匀性具有幂律谱，那么幂律指数β＝４要比β＝１１／３（即Ｋｏｌｍｏｇｏｒｏｖ谱）能更好地符合观测。

双成分星际介质的折射闪烁

本文用比较严格的理论讨论了由连续介质和散射薄屏组成的星际介质对河外射电源的折射闪烁．对折射闪烁引起的流量变化的结构函数Ｄ（τ）（τ为迟后时间）的计算表明，结构函数的幂律部份的指数Ｐ（Ｄ（τ）（∝τＰ）依赖于上述两个成份的相对散射强度，即在连续介质散射为主的情况下；而在薄屏散射为主的情况下；若两个成份的散射可相比较时，１＜Ｐ＜２．因此本模型可以用于解释在河外射电源和脉冲星中观测到的折射闪烁的结构函数具有不同幂指数的情形，特别是Ｐ～１．５的情形．

The Australian Ska New Technology Demonstrator Program

I present a brief overview of the SKA projects conducted under the Australian Major National Research Facilities program, and describe the largest of these projects – the SKA New Technology Demonstrator. The goal of this project is to construct an SKA technology demonstrator which will explore and evaluate a number of SKA technologies in a remote radio-quiet environment, while also achieving a restricted set of key science goals. Infrastructure and access to back-end facilities will also be provided for other international SKA groups who wish to evaluate or demonstrate technologies, or conduct science experiments, in a remote, radio-quiet, environment.

The radio galaxy RC J1148+0455

Based on data from the MIT-GB-VLA 4850-MHz survey, we investigate the radio structure of RC J1148+0455 with a steep radio spectrum (α=?1.04) from the COLD catalog. The radio source consists of two components, each having a complex structure. We analyze an optical identification of the source by using 6-m telescope images. The centroid of the radio source falls on a group of eight galaxies at a 24 ^m level in R.

A VLBI study of 20 southern extragalactic radio sources

This paper describes a 5 GHz VLBI survey in the southern hemisphere. The first observation of 23 extragalactic radio sources was conducted in November 1992. Twenty VLBI images were obtained, of which 15 sources show core-jet structure, one has a two-sided jet, and three sources are unresolved. No compact double source was found. Eleven of the 16 sources with core-jet (including a two-aided jet) show evidence of jet bending. In addition, four sources appear to be superluminal, of which three sources are new.     

Compact radio cores and the relation between the radio and optical axes of elliptical galaxies

We have reinvestigated the reported tendency for the extended radio structures associated with bright elliptical galaxies to be oriented preferentially along the optical minor axes. It is found that such a tendency exists only for those galaxies in which the compact radio cores coincident with their nuclei are quite prominent. If the galaxies are divided into two groups according to whether their cores account for less than or greater than 10 per cent of the total flux density at 2.7 GHz, the angle Φ (between the radio axis and the optical minor axis) appears to be uniformly distributed between 0‡ and 90‡ for the former, but is nearly always < 30‡ for the latter group. One possible explanation is that the radio emission from compact cores suffers thermal absorption by ionized gas that is distributed differently in the two groups.     

Extragalactic sources with asymmetric radio structure

We present total-intensity and linear-polarization observations with the Very Large Array (VLA) at λ6 and 2 cm of 17 sources, almost all of which were suspected to have extended emission only on one side of the nucleus. Five of them are still one-sided, three appear unresolved, while seven have radio lobes on both sides of the nucleus. The outer components in the double-lobed sources, however, have significantly different surface brightness or are very asymmetrically located with respect to the nucleus.     

Using large radio telescopes at decametre wavelengths

With the aim of evaluating the actual possibilities of doing, from the ground, sensitive radio astronomy at decametre wavelengths (particularly below ), an extensive program of radio observations was carried out, in 1999–2002, by using digital spectral and waveform analysers (DSP) of new generation, connected to several of the largest, decametre radio telescopes in the world (i.e., the UTR-2 and URANs arrays in Ukraine, and the Nançay Decametre Array in France).

We report and briefly discuss some new findings, dealing with decametre radiation from Jupiter and the Solar Corona: namely the discovery of new kinds of hyper fine structures in spectrograms of the active Sun, and a new characterisation of Jupiter's “millisecond” radiation, whose waveform samples, with time resolution down to 40 ns, and correlated measurements, by using far distant antennas (3000 km), have been obtained. In addition, scattering effects, caused by the terrestrial ionosphere and the interplanetary medium, could be disentangled through high time resolution and wide-band analyses of solar, planetary and strong galactic radio sources. Consequences for decametre wavelength imaging at high spatial resolution (VLBI) are outlined. Furthermore, in spite of the very unfavourable electromagnetic environment in this frequency range, a substantial increase in the quality of the observations was shown to be provided by using new generation spectrometers, based on sophisticated digital techniques. Indeed, the available, high dynamic range of such devices greatly decreases the effects of artificial and natural radio interference. We give several examples of successful signal detection in the case of much weaker radio sources than Solar System ones, down to the intensity level.

In summary, we conclude that searching for sensitivity improvement at the decametre wavelength is scientifically quite justified, and is now technically feasible, in particular by building giant, phased antenna arrays of much larger collecting area (as in the LOFAR project). In this task, one must be careful of some specifics of this wavelength range—somewhat unusual in “classical” radio astronomy—i.e., very high level and density of radio interference (telecommunications) and the variable terrestrial ionosphere.
