The brightness distribution across the Cassiopeia A source in position angle 90 degrees consists of a primary region of emission 4.1 minutes of arc in width, with a much fainter extension offset from the main region of emission and having a brightness of only 10 per cent of that of the main component. Measurements were made up to the third maximum of the transform (2160 λ), and the position of the first zero was determined at 840 λ.
