Spectrum Distribution

From a pair of 17GHz and 34GHz images, spectrum distribution can be obtained. It is used for judging the emission mechanism and/or deriving the power-law index of non-thermal elecrons. The derived variable is $\alpha$ whose definition is

$$F_{\nu} \propto {\nu}^{\alpha}$$

Since available frequencies for NoRH are only two, the actual derivation is

$${\alpha} = {\log{(F_{\nu}^{34{\rm GHz}}/F_{\nu}^{17{\rm GHz}})} \over \log{({34{\rm GHz}}/{17{\rm GHz}})}}$$

alpha is the power law index of spectrum $\alpha$. mvda is an array including the values of unity (1) for valid data or zero (0) for non-valid data. indexal is an index correspoinding to data alpha.
