Description
In a previous paper (Paper I, Franzen et al., 2011MNRAS.415.2699F), the observational, mapping and source-extraction techniques used for the Tenth Cambridge (10C) Survey of Radio Sources were described. Here, the first results from the survey, carried out using the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager Large Array (LA) at an observing frequency of 15.7GHz, are presented. The survey fields cover an area of ~27deg^2^ to a flux-density completeness of 1mJy. Results for some deeper areas, covering ~12deg^2^, wholly contained within the total areas and complete to 0.5mJy, are also presented. The completeness for both areas is estimated to be at least 93 per cent. The 10C survey is the deepest radio survey of any significant extent (>~0.2deg^2^) above 1.4GHz.
