WHAT DOES JANSKY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Jansky

The flux unit or jansky is a non-SI unit of spectral flux density, or spectral irradiance, equivalent to 10−26 watts per square metre per hertz. The flux density or monochromatic flux,, of a source is the integral of the spectral radiance,, over the source solid angle: The unit is named after pioneering US radio astronomer Karl Guthe Jansky, and is defined as: Since the jansky is obtained by integrating over the whole source solid angle, it is most simply used to describe point sources; for example, the Third Cambridge Catalogue of Radio Sources reports results in Jy. For extended sources, the surface brightness is often described with units of Jy per solid angle; for example, Far Infra-Red maps from the IRAS satellite are in MJy/sr. While extended sources at all wavelengths can be reported with these units, for radio frequency maps, extended sources have traditionally been described in terms of a brightness temperature; for example the Haslam et al. 408 MHz all-sky continuum survey is reported in terms of a brightness temperature in K.

Definition of jansky in the English dictionary

The definition of jansky in the dictionary is a unit of flux density equal to 10–26 W m–2 Hz–1, used predominantly in radio and infrared astronomy Jy.
