Intensity correlation functions of microwave maser sources
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 April 2022
Abstract
Astrophysical sources of microwave radiation with extremely high spectral brightness are interpreted as masers. But by itself, the information about high brightness of radiation does not make it possible to establish whether the radiation is thermal or maser. This can be determined only on the basis of the analysis of high-order correlation functions. A possible measurement procedure for the second-order autocorrelation function (the bunching parameter) for these sources is proposed.
