Distribution of Non-Thermal Emission in Galaxies

Extract
The properties of the radio continuum emission from spiral galaxies have been reviewed by Van der Kruit and Allen (1976) and by Van der Kruit (1978). In more recent years the major developments in the understanding of the radio continuum properties and the underlying physical conditions of galaxies have come from a number of surveys of large samples of objects. Some of these surveys (e.g. Hummel, 1980a) have good sensitivity and sufficiently high angular resolution to allow for the first time a clear separation of central sources and disk emission and a study of the properties of these components in a large number of galaxies. As a consequence some results already found, suggested or only suspected in previous detailed investigations of a limited number of objects are put on a firmer basis or entirely new aspects are revealed.
