Jansky, KG (English spelling) JanskyKG

...The longer the wavelength, the wider the radio waves spread and the stronger they become. At wavelengths of several tens of centimeters or more, the strongest radio waves from the sky come from the galactic center and disk components, and these were the radio waves discovered by chance by K. Jansky (1939). The existence of a halo component was accepted because the distribution of radio wave intensity is somewhat anisotropic, it is stronger in the direction of the galactic center, and the Andromeda Galaxy also has a halo, but it cannot be said that it has been fully confirmed. ...

From [Radio Astronomy]


[History of Radio Astronomy]
Radio waves from space were first detected in 1931. KG Jansky, who was studying natural noise that interferes with long-distance communication, noticed radio waves coming from the direction of Sagittarius and interpreted them as radio waves coming from the center of the Milky Way. This great discovery was not remembered much at the time, but after World War II, observations began to be carried out in many countries.

…波長が長いほどこの電波は大きく広がり強度も高くなっている。波長数十cm以上では,天空からの電波は銀河中心および円盤成分がもっとも強く,偶然のチャンスからジャンスキーK.Janskyが発見(1939)したのもこの電波である。ハロー成分の存在は,電波強度の分布がやや非等方性をもち,銀河中心の方向で強いこと,アンドロメダ銀河もハローをもつことなどから受け入れられていたが,十分に確認されているとはいえない。…

[電波天文学の歴史]
 宇宙からの電波が初めて見つかったのは1931年である。遠距離通信のじゃまになる自然の雑音を研究中だったジャンスキーK.G.Janskyが,いて座の方向からの電波に気づき銀河系の中心が電波を出していると解釈した。 この大発見は当時はあまりかえりみられなかったが,第2次世界大戦後,多くの国で観測が行われるようになった。…
