- Description:
- This paper presents results of a survey search for bright compact radio sources at 22GHz with the VERA radio interferometer. Each source from a list of 2494 objects was observed in one scan for 2 minutes. The purpose of this survey was to find compact extragalactic sources bright enough at 22GHz to be useful as phase calibrators. Observed sources were either (1) within 6{deg} of the Galactic plane, or (2) within 11{deg} of the Galactic center, or (3) within 2{deg} of known water masers. Among the observed sources, 549 were detected, including 180 extragalactic objects that were not previously observed with the very long baseline interferometry technique. Estimates of the correlated flux densities of the detected sources are presented. It was found that the probability of detecting a 200mJy source with 120s of integration time is 60%.

- Description:
- We describe the source subtraction strategy and observations for the extended Very Small Array (VSA), a cosmic microwave background interferometer operating at 33GHz. A total of 453 sources were monitored at 33GHz using a dedicated source subtraction baseline. 131 sources brighter than 20mJy were directly subtracted from the VSA visibility data. Some characteristics of the subtracted sources, such as spectra and variability, are discussed. The 33GHz source counts are estimated from a sample selected at 15GHz. The selection of VSA fields in order to avoid bright sources introduces a bias into the observed counts. This bias is corrected and the resulting source count is estimated to be complete in the flux-density range 20114mJy. The 33GHz source counts are used to calculate a correction to the VSA power spectrum for sources below the subtraction limit.

- Description:
- We report on new aspects of the star-forming region S235AB revealed through high-resolution observations at radio and mid-infrared wavelengths. Using the Very Large Array, we carried out sensitive observations of S235AB in the cm continuum (6, 3.6, 1.3, and 0.7) and in the 22GHz water maser line. These were complemented with Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera archive data to clarify the correspondence between radio and IR sources. We made also use of newly presented data from the Medicina water maser patrol, started in 1987, to study the variability of the water masers found in the region.

- Description:
- Reconnection heating has been considered as a potential source of the heating of the interstellar medium. In some galaxies, significant polarised radio emission has been found between the spiral arms. This emission has a form of 'magnetic arms' that resembles the spiral structure of the galaxy. Reconnection effects could convert some of the energy of the turbulent magnetic field into the thermal energy of the surrounding medium, leaving more ordered magnetic fields, as is observed in the magnetic arms. Sensitive radio and X-ray data for the grand-design spiral galaxy M 83 are used for a detailed analysis of the possible interactions of magnetic fields with hot gas, including a search for signatures of gas heating by magnetic reconnection effects. Magnetic field strengths and energies derived from the radio emission are compared with the parameters of the hot gas calculated from the model fits to sensitive X-ray spectra of the hot gas emission. The available X-ray data allowed us to distinguish two thermal components in the halo of M 83. We found slightly higher average temperatures of the hot gas in the interarm regions, which results in higher energies per particle and is accompanied by a decrease in the energy density of the magnetic fields. The observed differences in the energy budget between the spiral arms and the interarm regions suggest that, similar to the case of another spiral galaxy NGC 6946, we may be observing hints for gas heating by magnetic reconnection effects in the interarm regions. These effects, which act more efficiently on the turbulent component of the magnetic field, are expected to be stronger in the spiral arms. However, with the present data it is only possible to trace them in the interarm regions, where the star formation and the resulting turbulence is low.

- Description:
- We describe deep, new, wide-field radio continuum observations of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey-North field. The resulting map has a synthesized beam size of ~1.7" and an rms noise level of ~3.9uJy/beam near its center and ~8uJy/beam at 15' from phase center. We have cataloged 1230 discrete radio emitters, within a 40'x40' region, above a 5{sigma} detection threshold of ~20uJy at the field center. New techniques, pioneered by Owen & Morrison, have enabled us to achieve a dynamic range of 6800:1 in a field that has significantly strong confusing sources. We compare the 1.4GHz (20cm) source counts with those from other published radio surveys. Our differential counts are nearly Euclidean below 100uJy with a median source diameter of ~1.2". This adds to the evidence presented by Owen & Morrison that the natural confusion limit may lie near 1uJy. If the Euclidean slope of the counts continues down to the natural confusion limit as an extrapolation of our logN-logS, this indicates that the cutoff must be fairly sharp below 1uJy else the cosmic microwave background temperature would increase above 2.7K at 1.4GHz.

- Description:
- We made two new sensitive (rms noise {sigma}_n_~1{mu}Jy/beam) high-resolution ({theta}=3.0" and {theta}=0.66" FWHM) S-band (2<{nu}<4GHz) images covering a single JVLA primary beam (FWHM~14') centered on RAJ2000=10:46,DEJ2000=+59:01 in the Lockman Hole. These images yielded a catalog of 792 radio sources, 97.7+/-0.8% of which have infrared counterparts stronger than S~2{mu}Jy at {lambda}=4.5{mu}m. About 91% of the radio sources found in our previously published, comparably sensitive low-resolution ({theta}=8" FWHM) image covering the same area were also detected at 0.66" resolution, so most radio sources with S(3GHz)>~5{mu}Jy have angular structure {phi}<~0.66". The ratios of peak brightness in the 0.66" and 3" images have a distribution indicating that most {mu}Jy radio sources are quite compact, with a median Gaussian angular diameter <{phi}>=0.3"+/-0.1" FWHM and an rms scatter {sigma}_{phi}_<~0.3" of individual sizes. Most of our {mu}Jy radio sources obey the tight far-infrared/radio correlation, indicating that they are powered by star formation. The median effective angular radius enclosing half the light emitted by an exponential disk is <{rho}_e_>~<{phi}>/2.43~0.12", so the median effective radius of star-forming galaxies at redshifts z~1 is <r_e_>~1.0kpc.

- Description:
- We have observed the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South (E-CDF-S) using a mosaic of six deep Very Large Array (VLA) pointings at 1.4GHz. In this paper, we present the survey strategy, description of the observations, and the first data release. The observations were performed during June through September of 2007 and included from 15 to 17 "classic" VLA antennas and 6 to 11 that had been retrofitted for the Expanded VLA (EVLA). The first data release consists of a 34.1'x34.1' image and the attendant source catalog. The image achieves an rms sensitivity of 6.4{mu}Jy per 2.8"x1.6" beam in its deepest regions, with a typical sensitivity of 8uJy. The catalog is conservative in that it only lists sources with peak flux densities greater than seven times the local rms noise, yet it still contains 464 sources. Nineteen of these are complex sources consisting of multiple components. Cross matching of the catalog to prior surveys of the E-CDF-S confirms the linearity of the flux density calibration, albeit with a slight possible offset (a few percent) in scale. Improvements to the data reduction and source catalog are ongoing, and we intend to produce a second data release in 2009 January.

- Description:
- Deep radio observations at 1.4GHz for the Extended Chandra Deep Field South were performed in 2007 June through September and presented in a first data release. The survey was made using six separate pointings of the Very Large Array with over 40hr of observation per pointing. In the current paper, we improve on the data reduction to produce a second data release (DR2) mosaic image. This DR2 image covers an area of about a third of a square degree, reaches a best rms sensitivity of 6uJy, and has a typical sensitivity of 7.4uJy per 2.8" by 1.6" beam. We also present a more comprehensive catalog, including sources down to peak flux densities of five or more times the local rms noise along with information on source sizes and relevant pointing data. We discuss in some detail the consideration of whether sources are resolved under the complication of a radio image created as a mosaic of separate pointings each suffering some degree of bandwidth smearing, and the accurate evaluation of the flux densities of such sources. Finally, the radio morphologies and optical/near-IR counterpart identifications are used to identify 17 likely multiple-component sources and arrive at a catalog of 883 radio sources, which is roughly double the number of sources contained in the first data release.

- Description:
- Maps of 212 extragalactic radio sources at 4.9 GHz are shown in Stokes I along with linear polarization vectors. The objects have a declination range of 0 degrees to -35 degrees and were chosen from the Hewitt & Burbidge quasar catalog with a spectral index less than -0.5 and the NVSS survey with a minimum 1.4 GHz flux density greater than 300 mJy. The observations were made with the Very Large Array in its B configuration, and the images have a typical resolution of 2 arcseconds. One hundred ninety-five objects were resolved; 108 of the sources are quasars, and another 51 have been identified as galaxies.
