Scientific paper

Observations of the young supernova remnant Cassiopeia A at a wavelength of 2 cm have resolved small (≡0arcsec.3) knots. The flux density of these knots decays on a 1/e time scale of ≡14 yr. This is faster than the decay of the smooth features. The pressure in these knots can be estimated at 4×10-7dynes cm-2. This is somewhat greater than the pressure within the smooth component of the supernova remnant.
