Evidence of Continuum Emission from Jupiter at 18 Mc/s

Abstract

IN 1966 it was reported by Dulk and Clark1 that almost continuous, bursty, radiation from Jupiter can be detected at low frequencies if an aerial receiver system of sufficient sensitivity is available. Relative to this, Stone, Alexander and Erickson2 found a marked increase in emission probability at 26.3 Mc/s using the large array at Clark Lake Radio Observatory. Prolonged periods of activity were observed by Warwick3 on a number of occasions in 1960. Evidence is presented here of a related effect at 18 Mc/s observed on several occasions during the 1966–67 apparition of Jupiter.
