SEARCH FOR POSSIBLE OPTICAL RADIATION CORRELATING WITH JUPITER'S NON-THERMAL RADIATION IN THE 20-MEGACYCLE REGION
Abstract
The program originally envisaged was a search for optical emission (not merely reflection of sunlight) from Jupiter, the work to be done at three levels of improving sensitivity as Yale's instrumentation developed. A brief account of negative results from the first two observational attempts made during 1960 is presented. Much progress has been made toward the final instrumentation required for the program; this work is outlined, along with a major further development of the program in a direction not contemplated in the original proposal, namely the detection of stellar flares.
