Detection of the polarized radio emission from the Crab Nebula |
|
| Authors: | AD Kuzmin |
| Abstract: | The radio emission that was observed in earliest times could not be interpreted in terms of thermal emission process. The suggestion that synchrotron radiation was observed required the confirmation by the detection of linear polarization. We have made such a detection in 1957 which we describe in the present article. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
