- Description:
- This table contains results from the deep radio imaging at 1.4 GHz of the 1.3-deg<sup>2</sup> Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field (SXDF), made with the Very Large Array (VLA) in B and C configurations. This resulted in a radio map of the entire field, and a catalog of 505 sources covering 0.8 deg<sup>2</sup> to a peak flux density limit of 100 microJansky (µJy), which corresponds to signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios of between 5 and 8. Robust optical identifications are provided for 90 per cent of the sources, and suggested identifications are presented for all but 14 (of which seven are optically blank, and seven are close to bright contaminating objects). The authors show that the optical properties of the radio sources do not change with flux density, suggesting that active galactic nuclei (AGN) continue to contribute significantly at faint flux densities. they test this assertion by cross-correlating their radio catalog with the X-ray source catalog and conclude that radio-quiet AGN become a significant population at flux densities below 300 uJy, and may dominate the population responsible for the flattening of the radio source counts if a significant fraction of them are Compton-thick. The SXDF was observed with NRAO's VLA in B-array using the 14 overlapping pointings arranged an an hexagonal pattern that are listed in Table 1 of the reference paper. Three test observations of pointings 1, 4 and 6 were taken on 2001 May 17, and the rest of the data were obtained in 13 runs, each lasting 4.5 hours, between 2002 August 10 and September 9. All 14 pointings were re-observed in C-array on 2003 January 15 to provide additional information on larger angular scales. This table contains the catalog of 505 detected radio sources and their proposed optical counterparts (the latter taken mostly from the ultra-deep BRíz' Suprime-Cam images of the SXDF). As mentioned above, 14 of these 505 radio sources have no suggested identifications. Additionally, 7 of the radio sources (source numbers 16, 114, 129, 263, 360, 361 and 488) have 2 listed optical identifications: in such cases, there are 2 entries for each source listed detailing the alternative optical counterparts, and with identical sets of radio parameters. Thus, there are 512 = 505 + 7 entries in this table.

- Description:
- In Simpson et al. (2006, MNRAS, 372, 741, hereafter Paper I, available at the HEASARC as the <a href="/W3Browse/radio-catalog/vlasxdf1p4.html">VLASXDF1P4</a> table, the authors presented a catalog of 505 sources with 1.4-GHz peak radio flux densities greater than 100 uJy over a 0.81 deg<sup>2</sup> region of the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field (SXDF) and some of the properties of their optical counterparts. In this study (Simpson et al. 2012, MNRAS, 421, 3060, Paper III in the series) the authors present spectroscopic and 11-band photometric redshifts for galaxies in the 100-uJy Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field radio source sample. The authors find good agreement between their redshift distribution and that predicted by the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Simulated Skies project. They find no correlation between K-band magnitude and radio flux, but show that sources with 1.4-GHz flux densities below ~ 1 mJy are fainter in the near-infrared than brighter radio sources at the same redshift, and they discuss in their paper the implications of this result for spectroscopically incomplete samples where the K-z relation has been used to estimate redshifts. The authors use the infrared-radio correlation to separate their sample into radio-loud and radio-quiet objects and show that only radio-loud hosts have spectral energy distributions consistent with predominantly old stellar populations, although the fraction of objects displaying such properties is a decreasing function of radio luminosity. Many of the spectra presented in this study were obtained as part of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) program P074.A-0333, undertaken using the Visible Multi-Object Spectrograph (VIMOS) instrument on UT3/Melipal. Several observational campaigns have obtained spectra of objects within the SXDF, and Paper II in this series (Vardoulaki et al. 2008, MNRAS, 387, 505) presented spectra for 28 of the brightest 37 radio sources, obtained from a variety of sources. The near-infrared data used here come from the third data release (DR3) of the UKIRT (United Kingdom Infrared telescope) Infrared Deep Sky Survey, while the optical data in the UDS come from the SXDF, which comprises five separate Suprime-Cam pointings.

- Description:
- A deep radio image was obtained with the Very Large Array at 6cm in the Lockman Hole, during three runs of eleven hours each on January 16, 17 and 19, 1999 at 4835 and 4885MHz with a bandwidth of 50MHz in C configuration. From these data a catalogue of 63 radio sources was extracted, having a maximum distance of 10arcmin from the field center and a peak flux density greater than 4.5 times the local rms noise. The noise level in the central part of the field is ~11{mu}Jy.

- Description:
- We present Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array 1.3, 3.6, and 6cm continuum maps of compact radio sources in the Orion Nebular Cluster (ONC). We mosaicked 34arcmin^2^ at 1.3cm, 70arcmin^2^ at 3.6cm and 109arcmin^2^ at 6cm, containing 778 near-infrared detected young stellar objects and 190 Hubble Space Telescope-identified proplyds (with significant overlap between those characterizations). We detected radio emission from 175 compact radio sources in the ONC, including 26 sources that were detected for the first time at these wavelengths. For each detected source, we fitted a simple free-free and dust emission model to characterize the radio emission. We extrapolate the free-free emission spectrum model for each source to ALMA bands to illustrate how these measurements could be used to correctly measure protoplanetary disk dust masses from submillimeter flux measurements. Finally, we compare the fluxes measured in this survey with previously measured fluxes for our targets, as well as four separate epochs of 1.3cm data, to search for and quantify the variability of our sources.

- Description:
- We have used the VLA to survey the fields of the three clusters of galaxies; 0016+16, Abell 665 (0826+66) and Abell 2218 (1635+66) at 1440 MHz, 4860 MHz, and 14940 MHz (for the brighter sources). The survey was aimed at finding radio sources which might contaminate the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. We have detected 86 sources in these three clusters and examined Palomar sky survey prints for possible optical identifications.

- Description:
- This is the fourth in a series of papers describing an in depth study of a large statistical sample of radio galaxies in Abell clusters. This sample forms the basis of a detailed optical and radio study of the host galaxy properties, environments, and evolutionary models for radio galaxies as a class of objects. In this paper, we examine the radio detection statistics as a function of cluster morphological type, galaxy richness, and spatial location within the cluster galaxy distribution. These relationships are also parametrized as a function of radio power. The spatial distributions of the radio sources as a function of distance from the cluster center indicate that radio galaxies are preferentially located at small radii from the center of the cluster potential. This is observed as a factor of 2-3 excess over that predicted by a King-model surface-density distribution. The excess is higher in the upper radio power bin. This result is easily explained, however, from the spatial distribution of the brightest galaxies and the relationship between radio and optical luminosity. The sample is divided into richness classes 0, 1, and 2, according to Abell's criterion, and in two radio power ranges. While simple counting shows that richer clusters have more radio galaxies in both radio power bins, when the detections are scaled to the number of galaxies surveyed in each cluster, no significant correlations are found. This result implies that the number of radio galaxies detected simply scales with the number of galaxies surveyed. The higher galaxy density (and presumably higher ICM gas density) in richer clusters does not appear to affect the rate of radio source formation. The clusters are divided into Rood-Sastry and Bautz-Morgan morphological types. While it would appear that the more regular clusters have higher radio detection rates, when the classes are normalized to the number of galaxies, the radio detection rates are found to be identical regardless of cluster morphology. In conclusion, it is the optical properties of the host galaxy which most influence both the radio detection rate and the radio source properties. The cluster properties, galaxy density, and spatial location of the galaxy do not significantly affect the observed radio statistics.

- Description:
- We report the results of a VLA survey at 20cm of a complete sample of nearby Abell clusters (D<=3). We have compiled an extensive catalog of cluster radio sources with S_20_>10mJy from a combination of our VLA observations and observations of similar resolution with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT). Using these radio data and X-ray data from the Einstein observatory, we have analyzed the properties of these clusters. Unlike that previously suggested, no significant correlation is found between 20cm radio power and X-ray luminosity. There is weak evidence that richer clusters have a higher probability of radio emission. Based on Rood-Sastry morphological types of clusters, we do not find any strong evidence that regular-type clusters are statistically more likely to be radio loud than irregular-type clusters. However, Bautz-Morgan types I and II-III are found to have comparable radio-detection rates; but Bautz-Morgan Type III clusters are likely to have a lower radio-detection rate. A weak correlation between X-ray-cooling mass-accretion rates and radio powers was found for central, dominant galaxies in cooling-flow clusters. This might suggest that either cooling accretion directly fuels the central engine and/or cooling flows strongly interact with (e.g., confine) the radio plasma. In addition, radio sources associated with central dominant galaxies in cooling-flow clusters tend to be small in comparison with those in non-cooling-flow clusters. This might suggest that cooling flows tend to obstruct the propagation of radio jets from central, dominant galaxies.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the optical and infrared identifications of the 266 radio sources detected at 20cm with the Very Large Array in the Chandra Deep Field-South. Using deep i-band Advanced Camera for Surveys, R-band Wide Field Imager, K-band SOFI NTT, K-band ISAAC VLT and Spitzer imaging data, we are able to find reliable counterparts for 254 (~95%) VLA sources. Twelve radio sources remain unidentified, and three of them are "empty fields". Using literature and our own data we are able to assign redshifts to 186 (~70%) radio sources: 108 are spectroscopic redshifts and 78 are reliable photometric redshifts. Based on the rest-frame colors and morphological distributions of the host galaxies, we find evidences for a change in the submillijansky radio source population: (1) above ~0.08mJy early-type galaxies are dominating and (2) at flux densities below ~0.08mJy, starburst galaxies become dominant.

- Description:
- We discuss the X-ray properties of the radio sources detected in a deep 1.4 and 5GHz VLA Radio survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South (E-CDFS). Among the 266 radio sources detected, we find 89 sources (1/3 of the total) with X-ray counterparts in the catalog of the 1Ms exposure of the central 0.08deg^2^ or in the catalog of the 250ks exposure of the 0.3deg^2^ E-CDFS field. For 76 (85%) of these sources, we have spectroscopic or photometric redshifts, and therefore we are able to derive their intrinsic properties from X-ray spectral analysis, namely intrinsic absorption and total X-ray luminosities. We find that the population of submillijansky radio sources with X-ray counterparts is composed of a mix of roughly 1/3 star-forming galaxies and 2/3 active galactic nuclei (AGNs).
