Description
Observations of the field Lynx 3A, obtained at 21cm with 5{sigma} peak flux 85{mu}Jy using the 3-km array of the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope for 16x12h periods during 1984, are reported. Details of the observations and the data reduction are given, and the results are presented in extensive tables and maps. A complete sample of 321 objects within the 0.5{deg} attenuation radius is selected from the 349 objects detected above 85{mu}Jy, and the 1.412GHz source counts down to 100{mu}Jy are found to be in good agreement with VLA surveys of similar depth. The median angular size of sources with total flux density between 350{mu}Jy and 10mJy is shown to be less than 10arcsec.
