The basis for the Texas Survey flux densities is a slightly modified version
of the flux scale developed by Wills (1973, Ap.J. 180, 335), here referred
to as the "BW scale". The BW scale was recreated from basic flux data,
rereduced and modified to reflect an assumed frequency-independent secular
decrease of the flux density of Cas A of 0.8 % per year, rather than the
1.3 % oer year originally used Wills. The resultant scale (TXS for Texas
Survey) is about 2% below BW at 365 MHz. For comparison purposes, a reduction
was also done using the Cas A spectrum adopted by Baars et al. (1977),
here denoted "BA". At 365 MHz, the relationship between the three scales
is
S(TXS) = 0.9828S(BW) = 0.9607S(BA)
Evaluation of the TXS flux scale at 408 MHz showns it to be identical to the
absolute flux scale defined by Wyllie (1969a, MNRAS, 142, 229)
(1969b, PASAu, 1, 234) and used for the Molonglo 408 MHz data.
