The NORTH6CM database is a catalog of 53,522 4.85-GHz sources generated by Becker, R. H., White, R. L., Edwards, A. L. 1991, ApJS 75, 1. It covers between 0 degrees and 75 degrees declination using observations taken with the NRAO Greenbank 300-ft telescope by Condon, Broderick and Seielstad (1989). The flux limit of the catalog is dependent on declination and ranges from approximately 40 mJy at 0 degrees to 20 mJy at 60 degrees. The source positions given in the catalog have a 95% confidence radius of approximately 50 arcsec. Spectral indices have been calculated for 29,051 sources which have counterparts in the Texas 365-MHz Northern Sky Survey. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
The 21 cm Galactic Plane survey was carried out with the Effelsberg 100-m radio telescope (HPBW = 9.4'). It contains sources from l=357{deg} to l=95.5{deg} and from -4{deg}<b<4{deg}. The data were absolutely calibrated by using the Stockert Northern Sky survey at the same wavelength. Included are 884 compact objects with peak flux densities greater than 98 mJy (or 200 mK Tb) and apparent sizes less than 16'. This survey is especially useful for studying extended emission complexes in the Galactic plane and complements the Effelsberg 11 cm survey of the Galactic plane (Reich et al., Cat. <J/A+AS/85/805>)
We analysed the 21cm Galactic Plane survey carried out with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope for small diameter sources. We present a list of 1830 radio sources with a maximum apparent size of 16' and peak flux densities >160mK or >79mJy/beam area, and a list of 884 radio sources with a maximum apparent size of 16' and peak flux densities >200mK or >98mJy/beam area.
We analysed the 11cm Galactic Plane survey carried out with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope for small diameter sources. We present a list of 6483 radio sources with a maximum apparent size of 12' and peak flux densities >40mJy/beam area. Point-like sources are almost evenly distributed over the surveyed area, except that we miss some sources in the highly confused inner part of the Galaxy and the Cygnus X complex. At Galactic longitudes l>100deg the list of compact sources is almost complete above an integrated flux density limit of 70mJy. Most of them are extragalactic. Extended sources show a concentration towards the Galactic Plane. At longitudes l<100deg the scale height is about 0.6deg. An excess of about 900 extended sources is most likely of Galactic structure.
We report and discuss the results of a 22-cm radio survey carried out with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) covering the A3528 complex, a chain formed by the merging ACO clusters A3528-A3530-A3532, located in the central region of the Shapley Concentration. Simultaneous 13-cm observations are also presented. Our final catalogue includes a total of 106 radio sources above the flux density limit of 0.8mJy. By cross-correlation with optical and spectroscopic catalogues we found 32 optical counterparts, nine of them belonging to the A3528 complex.
A compilation of H I line fluxes, systemic velocities and linewidths is presented for 840 detected galaxies, mostly in the vicinities of 30 nearby rich clusters out to a redshift of z~0.04, specifically for use in applications of the Tully-Fisher distance method. New 21 cm H I line profiles have been obtained for ~500 galaxies in 27 Abell clusters visible from Arecibo. Upper limits are also presented for 246 galaxies for which H I emission was not detected. In order to provide a homogeneous linewidth determination optimized for Tully-Fisher studies, these new data are supplemented by the reanalysis of previously published spectra obtained both at Arecibo and Green Bank that are available in a digital archive. Corrections for instrumental broadening, smoothing, signal-to-noise and profile shape are applied, and an estimate of the error on the width is given. When corrected for turbulent broadening and viewing angle, the corrected velocity widths presented here will provide the appropriate line width parameter needed to derive distances via the Tully-Fisher relation.
The 11 cm radio continuum radiation of the Galactic Plane is shown in the form of an atlas of contour maps covering the range l=357.4 to 76{deg}, |b|=1.5{deg} or less. The angular resolution is about 4.3arcmin and the sensitivity is 50mK T_B_ (or 20mJy/beam area). Additionally a catalog of 1212 small diameter radio sources has been compiled.
The Westerbork Radio Synthesis Telescope, WSRT, has been used to make a deep radio survey of an ~1.7degree^2^ field coinciding with the AKARI north ecliptic pole deep field. The observations, data reduction and source count analysis are presented, along with a description of the overall scientific objectives. The survey consisted of 10 pointings, mosaiced with enough overlap to maintain a similar sensitivity across the central region that reached as low as 21uJy/beam at 1.4GHz.
The results of a deep radio survey at 20cm wavelength are reported for a region containing the AKARI Deep Field South (ADF-S) near the South Ecliptic Pole (SEP), using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The survey (hereafter referred to as the ATCA-ADFS survey) has 1{sigma} detection limits ranging from 18.7 to 50{mu}Jy/beam over an area of ~1.1deg^2^, and ~ 2.5deg^2^ to lower sensitivity. The observations, data reduction and source count analysis are presented along with a description of the overall scientific objectives, and a catalogue containing 530 radio sources detected with a resolution of 6.2x4.9arcsec.
We report on a deep spectroscopic survey for star-to-star CN variations along the main sequence (MS) of the globular cluster 47 Tuc with ESO's Very Large Telescope. We find a significant bimodal distribution in the S(3839) index for main-sequence stars in the mass range ~0.85 to 0.65M_{sun}_, or from the main-sequence turnoff down to ~2.5 mag below the main-sequence turnoff. An anticorrelation of CN and CH is evident on the MS. The result is discussed in the context of the ability of faint MS stars to alter their surface composition through internal evolutionary effects. We argue against internal stellar evolution as the only origin for the abundance spread in 47 Tuc; an external origin such as pollution seems to be more likely.
