Description
Summary:It is possible to derive information concerning the angular structure of radio sources in the range 0″.1−1″ by making systematic observations of their interplanetary scintillation. A survey of sources from the 3C Revised Catalogue has been made at Cambridge at a frequency of 178 MHz and the observations and analysis of the data from the survey are described. The conclusions relating to the structure of the individual sources are presented and compared with results obtained by other methods where these are available.
