Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

The method is described for taking into account unsettled elements of the RATAN 600 main reflector in flux density measurements of discrete radio sources, using the data from a new-generation archive of the Automated Control System. Examples of recalculation, of antenna temperatures for some radio sources with allowance for unsettled elements of the Northern sector of the main reflector are considered. It is shown that taking account of such elements improves the accuracy of flux density measurements for discrete radio sources.
