TIME DEPENDENCE OF THE RADIO EMISSION FROM CTA 21 AND CTA 102 (OBSERVATIONS OF THE OWENS VALLEY RADIO OBSERVATORY)

Abstract

Sholomitskii has reported variations with a period of about 100 days and amplitude of = 23% in the 32.5 cm radio intensity of CTA 102. We have examined the Caltech observations of this source at 31.3 cm, which cover the period from its discovery in 1959 through 1961. A firm upper limit of = 10% can be set on variations with 100 day period.
