OBSERVATIONS OF THE OWENS VALLEY RADIO OBSERVATORY CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 1963. 4. ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF THE DECLINATIONS OF RADIO SOURCES
Abstract
The two 90-foot steerable paraboloids of the Owens Valley Radio Observatory were used as a two-element interferometer at 960 mc with various separations along a north-south baseline to measure accurately the declinations of a number of radio sources, most of which were of small diameter. The measured values of declination are tabulated for 110 sources with right ascen sions between 0 hours and 14 hours 10 minutes. The standard errors of the measured values range from = 2.6 seconds of arc to = 46 seconds of arc with an average of = 13 seconds of arc. A discussion of the sources of error is included.
