Results are given for the radio continuum properties of an optically complete sample of 294 bright galaxies, 147 of which have been detected. Data were obtained with the 408 MHz Molonglo Radio Telescope. The radio luminosity functions for all galaxies and for spiral galaxies alone are derived and the radio emission for different galaxy types is investigated. Spectral indices of 73 galaxies which had been detected at other frequencies were derived; the mean index of a reliable subsample is <ex) = -0,71.

AbstractHESS J1731−347 a.k.a. SNR G353.6−0.7 is one of the five known very high energy (VHE, Energy > 0.1 TeV) shell-type supernova remnants. We carried out Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of this TeV SNR in 1390, 610 and 325 MHz bands. We detected the 325 and 610 MHz radio counterparts of the SNR G353.6−0.7 (Nayana et al. 2017). We also determined the spectral indices of individual filaments and our values are consistent with the non-thermal radio emission. We compared the radio morphology with that of VHE emission. The peak in radio emission corresponds to the faintest feature in the VHE emission. We explain this anti-correlated emission in a possible leptonic origin of the VHE γ-rays.

Radio continuum emission of planetary nebulae is a rich source of information about their structure and physical parameters. Although radio emission is well studied, planetary nebulae show higher spectral indices than expected for homogeneous sphere. A few competing models exist in the literature to explain this discrepancy. We propose that it is related to non-spherical morphology of most of planetary nebulae.

Gravitational interaction is a straightforward interpretation of some of the peculiar optical morphologies shown by galaxies. There have also been attempts to study the effects of a gravitational interaction on the radio continuum emission. Statistically, the central radio sources (inner 1 kpc) in interacting spiral galaxies are about three times stronger than in isolated spirals; on the other hand, the intensity of the extended emission does not seem to be affected (Stocke, 1978; Hummel, 1981). Peculiar radio morphologies are not a general property of interacting galaxies, since in the complete sample studied by Hummel (1981) of spirals with a probability ≥0.8 of being physically related to their companion, less than 5% have a peculiar radio morphology.

NGC 1566 and NGC 1672 have successfully been observed in radio continuum at 6 cm (26″ HPBW) with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) using a 375-m array. We have detected for the first time with this telescope linearly polarized radio emission from two southern hemisphere spiral galaxies, NGC 1566 and NGC 1672.

Observations at 408 MHz of radio sources from the 4C catalogue. IV. Declination range 20� to 0�. By R. E. B. Munro Abstract. Radio positions and flux densities measured at 408 MHz with the Molonglo radio telescope are given for 1392 sources from the Fourth Cambridge catalogue in the declination range 20� to 0�. The mean spectral indices between 178 and 408 MHz are also considered in the light of these improved flux densities.

The Revised Shapley-Ames Catalog (Sandage & Tamman, 1981) contains 335 spiral galaxies brighter than BT = 12. A subsample of these galaxies with δ ≥ –25° and total flux densities at 1.49 GHz (Condon, 1987) above 10 mJy were observed at λ2.8 cm using the 100-m radio telescope of the MPIfR Bonn. Depending on the expected flux density and extent of the source two observational methods were used: cross-scanning and mapping. In total, radio flux densities of 192 galaxies have been derived (Niklas et al., 1995). Additionally, a literature search was made in order to get flux densities at other frequencies.

The influence of the environment on the origin of radio radiation from galaxies is studied by compairing the occurence of radio emission in galaxies in compact high density groups of Hickson (1982) with that in field galaxies of similar types. The study shows that the fractional luminosity functions of elliptical and spiral galaxies in compact groups are similar in shape to that of field galaxies but the probability of a compact group galaxy being a radio source is 5 to 10 times greater than that of an isolated galaxy of the same type. Radio Loud group ellipticals tend to be the optically brightest galaxy in the group independent of their absolute luminosity.

If we look at the radio properties of the nearby ellipticals we find a situation considerably different from that just described by van der Kruit for the spiral galaxies. For example NGC 5128 (Cen A), the nearest giant elliptical galaxy, is a thousand times more powerful a radio source than the brightest spiral galaxies and furthermore its radio emission comes from a multiple lobed radio structure which bears no resemblance to the optical light distribution (e.g. Ekers, 1975). The other radio emitting elliptical galaxies in our neighbourhood, NGC 1316 (Fornax A), IC 4296 (1333–33), have similar morphology. A question which then arises is whether at lower levels we can detect radio emission coming from the optical image of the elliptical galaxies and which may be more closely related to the kind of emission seen in the spiral galaxies.

Radio observations of Hi8 mainly spiral galaxies have been made at 21 em and additional observations have been made for some at 11 and 75 em. The observations at 11 and 21 cm were made with the CSIR<z 210 ft radio telescope at Parkes and those at 75 cm with the east-west arm of the Mills Cross at the Molonglo Observatory of the University of Sydney. Radio emission was detected from central regions of 20 of the galaxies.
