ATA fluxes are lower than single-dish …pwilliam/williams_aas213...Exploring the FIR-Radio...

1
Rough timescales for escape from the galactic disk, synchrotron cooling (minimum-energy and equipartition field cases), and bremsstrahlung and ionization losses (“secondary processes”). Observed and predicted values of and d/d ln . The Thompson et al. values are computed from simple models with various physically-reasonable parameters. M82 M82 NGC 253 NGC 253 APG 220 APG 220 Calibrator cross-checks. Gaps in coverage are mostly due to lack of applicable observations, not RFI.
