Description
The radio sources listed below were selected from the Jodrell-VLA Astrometric Survey and the Cosmic-Lens All-Sky Survey (part 1) and constitute a (non-complete) parent sample for the selection of flat-spectrum symmetric object candidates (the ones which show structure, when their VLA-A 8.4GHz data are analysed). The parent sample contains northern hemisphere objects with 8.4GHz flux densities greater than 100mJy, galactic latitudes greater than 10 degrees and 1.40-to-4.85GHz spectral indices (when known; if not, the source is kept in the sample) smaller than 0.50 (flat). The most relevant properties of the parent sample are listed in the Table.
