The Angular Size — Flux Density Relation

  • Chapter
Radio Astronomy and Cosmology

Part of the book series: International Astronomical Union / Union Astronomique Internationale ((IAUS,volume 74))

Abstract

The relation between angular size and flux density depends on the world model and more strongly on evolution in radio source properties with epoch. I shall consider here the simplest forms of evolution that explain the observed θ-S relations (Swarup 1975; Kapahi 1975a, b; Ekers, this symposium).
