Baseline model for wide field of radio sky

Stanisław Ryś, Marian Soida

We present a new empirically found model of emission of radio waves from the environment of the radio telescope, recorded systematically during observations carried out within the framework of the Toruń Polarimetric Survey (ToPoS) at the frequency of 4.7 GHz, using a 32-metre radio telescope. Here we present the formulas describing the unwanted level of total and polarized power. The linearly polarized component is described by a different empirical model than the one found for total power.
