On the Identification of Radio Sources.
Abstract
A discussion of the astronomical evidence concerning objects identified as discrete radio sources shows that the following four types of objects are now recognized: (I) remnants of supernovae; (11) galactic nebulosities of a new type; (111) peculiar extragalactic nebulae; (1v) normal extragalactic nebulae. A discussion of the distribution of the general galactic radiation favors the assumption that this radiation is emitted by objects in population II and therefore probably by stars.
