Low Frequency Maps of the Galactic Radio Emission

This paper describes a program, the galactic emission mapping (GEM) project, the purpose of which is to improve the present state of knowledge by measuring galactic signal at centimeter and decimeter frequencies. The intention is to produce a series of full-sky maps and to improve knowledge of the a...

Description
Summary:This paper describes a program, the galactic emission mapping (GEM) project, the purpose of which is to improve the present state of knowledge by measuring galactic signal at centimeter and decimeter frequencies. The intention is to produce a series of full-sky maps and to improve knowledge of the absolute value and spatial variations of galactic emission. A prototype instruments was operated for three weeks at the South Pole. 4 refs.
