The First Cambridge Catalogue of Radio Sources (1C) refers to the catalogue listed in the article ''Ryle M, Smith F G & Elsmore B (1950) MNRAS vol 110 pp508-523 "A Preliminary Survey of Radio Stars in the Northern Hemisphere"''. () The 1C catalogue listed about 50 radio sources, detected at 3.7 m with a fixed meridian interferometer. According to researchers at the Special Astrophysical Observatory (), most of the sources from 1C were later recognized to be the effect of confusion, i.e. they were not real objects. The survey was produced using the Long Michelson Interferometer at the Old Rifle Range in Cambridge in 1950. This device operated primarily at a wavelength of 3.7 metres, with an aperture of 110λ, and was operated using Ryle's phase switching technique. Francis Graham-Smith also used the interferometer to measure the electron density in the ionosphere. The catalogue from this survey is only informally known as the 1C catalogue. ==List of sources== :After Ryle, ''et al''. § Intensity is in Watts metres−2 (c./s.)−1 x 1025 Note that the position can be specified more accurately for sources of small declination, since the nature of the instrument is such as to make the table errors overstated if the axis is not exactly East-West. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「First Cambridge Catalogue of Radio Sources」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
