Scientific paper

The radio spectrum of Cas A displays a feature 35 MHz wide at half-power level, peaking at 114 MHz. Its peak intensity is 18% above the level of the Cas A synchrotron spectrum. Beyond the line profile, at 81.5 and 152 MHz, 1980 measurements imply a secular flux decrease of (1.29 + or - 0.06)%/yr, (1.10 + or - 0.20)%/yr, respectively. The line may be evidence of maser emission in the magnetosphere of a neutron star embedded in the supernova remnant.
