Abstract

In this work, using the database of the university of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO), we determined the brightness temperatures, TB for a sample of 167 radio sources. The value of TB is in a range of log TB(K) = 10.46 to 20.08, which suggested that the boosting factors are in a range of δ = 0.41 to 41.26.
