Abstract

Observations were made of the decimeter radio emission from Jupiter at a frequency of 178 Mc over the period June 22 to July 1, 1983, using both a fan- beam system and an interferometer. A procedure was developed in which the records obtained on one day are subtracted from those taken on another day when the position of Jupiter has altered by more than the beam width of the instrument. The mean values derived for flux density were 3.3 plus or minus 0.45 x 10/sup - 26/ w m/sup -2/(cps)/sup -1/ for the fan beam and 3.8 plus or minus 0.4 x 10/ sup -26/ w m/sup -2/(cps)/sup -1/ for the interferometer. It was concluded that, over the period of observation, the flux density of Jupiter did not vary by more than 20%. (M.C.G.)
