4. Discussion & Summary The GSR and DSR are very different for different model of the Masuda sources, which implies a way of distinguishing between the models. The GSR and DSR are very different for different model of the Masuda sources, which implies a way of distinguishing between the models. To observe the radio emissions from the Masuda sources, we need a radio telescope (or array) which has 1-10 GHz observational frequency band with high spectral resolution and at least 7 arcsec spatial resolution corresponding to the typical size of the Masuda sources.
