Abstract
The Caltech variable baseline interferometer has been used in a program of brightness distribution measurements on 195 discrete radio sources at a wave length of 31.3 cm. This paper reports measurements, made with an east- west interferometer baseline, of the complex visibility functions of 127 sources. The amplitude and phase of the visibility functions were measured at transit with antenna spacings of 195λ, 389λ, 779λ and 1557λ. Using these same basic spacings, and by observing at large hour angles, the visibility amplitude was measured at ten other effective spacings between 126λ and 1363λ. Not all sources are observed at all spacings. The data are presented in tabular form, and graphs of the visibility amplitude as a function of antenna spacing are given for 51 of the more interesting sources. The interpretation of these data in terms of source brightness distributions will be given in another paper.
