Radio Emission from the Nucleus of the Andromeda Nebula

Nature volume 214, pages 1190–1192 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

Sagittarius A, the intense radio source at the centre of our Galaxy, has no counterpart in the Andromeda Nebula although the structure of the nucleus is otherwise similar. The bright supernova of 1885 in Andromeda produces far less radio emission than would be expected from a comparison with remnants of galactic supernovae.
