Notes. Values for the full band (30–78 MHz) are referenced to a center frequency of 54 MHz; values for the lower half of the band (30–54 MHz) are referenced to a center frequency of 42 MHz. Luminosity limits are obtained from the Stokes V images. In converting from flux density to luminosity, isotropic radiation and an emission bandwidth on the order of the observing frequency are assumed. (a)Because of ionospheric conditions, no good data were obtained on 2015 October 24.
