All error bars are 1sigma unless otherwise noted.
The figure below shows the evolving radio flux density of V445 Puppis. Note the series of radio flares superposed on the overall decay.
The radio spectra are shown below. A power law (as expected for optically-thin synchrotron emission) would appear as a straight line sloping downwards on this plot. Optically-thin thermal (free-free) emission would be roughly flat (nu^{-0.1}). Note that atmospheric effects introduce additional uncertainty in the data above 15 GHz. The lines are power laws going through the 8.5 GHz data, intended to guide the eye -- these are not fits.
The source appears too complicated at present for any but the simplest fits.
The figures show a couple examples of our A configuration 8.5 GHz data.
MJD 53279= 1oct04
MHD 53370= 31dec04
This figure shows the measured position (Gaussian fits) as a function of time. It's a little hard to make out since there are sometimes multiple fits on the same MJD, but I thought I might as well include it...
