- Description:
- We report the results from a new, highly sensitive ({Delta}T_mb_~3mK) survey for thermal OH emission at 1665 and 1667MHz over a dense, 9x9pix grid covering a 1{deg}x1{deg} patch of sky in the direction of l=105.00{deg}, b=+2.50{deg} toward the Perseus spiral arm of our Galaxy. We compare our Green Bank Telescope 1667MHz OH results with archival ^12^CO(1-0) observations from the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory Outer Galaxy Survey within the velocity range of the Perseus Arm at these galactic coordinates. Out of the 81 statistically independent pointings in our survey area, 86% show detectable OH emission at 1667MHz, and 19% of them show detectable CO emission. We explore the possible physical conditions of the observed features using a set of diffuse molecular cloud models. In the context of these models, both OH and CO disappear at current sensitivity limits below an A_v_ of 0.2, but the CO emission does not appear until the volume density exceeds 100-200cm^-3^. These results demonstrate that a combination of low column density A_v_ and low volume density n_H_ can explain the lack of CO emission along sight lines exhibiting OH emission. The 18cm OH main lines, with their low critical density of n*~1cm^-3^, are collisionally excited over a large fraction of the quiescent galactic environment and, for observations of sufficient sensitivity, provide an optically thin radio tracer for diffuse H_2_.

- Description:
- We present a new database of circumstellar OH masers at 1612, 1665, and 1667MHz in the Milky Way galaxy. The database (version 2.4) contains 13655 observations and 2341 different stars detected in at least one transition. Detections at 1612MHz are considered to be complete until the end of 2014 as long as they were published in refereed papers. Detections of the main lines (1665 and 1667MHz) and non-detections in all transitions are included only if published after 1983. The database contains flux densities and velocities of the two strongest maser peaks, the expansion velocity of the shell, and the radial velocity of the star. Links are provided for about 100 stars (<5% of all stars with OH masers) to interferometric observations and monitoring programs of the maser emission published since their beginnings in the 1970s. Access to the database is possible over the Web (www.hs.uni-hamburg.de/maserdb), allowing cone searches for individual sources and lists of sources. A general search is possible in selected regions of the sky and by defining ranges of flux densities and/or velocities. Alternative ways to access the data are via the German Virtual Observatory and the CDS.

- Description:
- We present the re-calibrated and re-imaged fits-cubes of the second set of data from the DEATHSTAR project (DEtermining Accurate mass-loss rates for THermally pulsing AGB STARs, www.astro.uu.se/deathstar): the S-type stars. Fifteen S-type southern AGB stars were mapped in Bands 6 and 7 with the Atacama Compact Array (ACA). The generated beams have sizes of 4-8 and 3-6-arcseconds in Band 6 and 7, respectively. The rms noise level reached is typically 50-70 and 100-150mJy/beam in Band 6 and 7, respectively. The beam sizes and rms values for each source are listed in the paper together with the description of the reduction process, the analysis of the cubes and tentative line detections.

- Description:
- We present the re-calibrated and re-imaged fits-cubes of the first set of data from the DEATHSTAR project (DEtermining Accurate mass-loss rates for THermally pulsing AGB STARs, www.astro.uu.se/deathstar). Forty-two southern AGB stars, 21 carbon stars and 21 M-type stars, were mapped in Bands 6 and 7 with the Atacama Compact Array (ACA). Source selection, detected line emission, data calibration procedures etc. are described in detail in the paper. The beams are typically 4-8 and 3-5-arcseconds in Band 6 and 7, respectively. The rms noise level reached is typically 50-70 and 100-150mJy/beam in Band 6 and 7, respectively. More exact beam sizes and rms values for each source are listed in the paper together with tentative line detections.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the first results from the Australia Telescope Large Area Survey, which consists of deep radio observations of a 3.7deg^2^ field surrounding the Chandra Deep Field-South, largely coincident with the infrared Spitzer Wide-Area Infrared Extragalactic (SWIRE) Survey. We also list cross-identifications to infrared and optical photometry data from SWIRE, and ground-based optical spectroscopy. A total of 784 radio components are identified, corresponding to 726 distinct radio sources, nearly all of which are identified with SWIRE sources. Of the radio sources with measured redshifts, most lie in the redshift range 0.5-2 and include both star-forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei. We identify a rare population of infrared-faint radio sources that are bright at radio wavelengths but are not seen in the available optical, infrared, or X-ray data. Such rare classes of sources can only be discovered in wide, deep surveys such as this.

- Description:
- The 9C survey of radio sources with the Ryle Telescope at 15.2GHz was set up to survey the fields of the cosmic microwave background telescope, the Very Small Array. In our first paper we described three regions of the survey, constituting a total area of to a completeness limit of ~25mJy. Here we present results from series of deeper regions, amounting to an area of 115deg^2^ complete to ~10mJy and of 29deg^2^ complete to ~5.5mJy. The compound source catalogue contains a total of 643 sources.

- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a source catalogue and first results from a deep, blind radio survey carried out at 20GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array, with follow-up observations at 5.5, 9 and 18GHz. The Australia Telescope 20GHz (AT20G) deep pilot survey covers a total area of 5deg^2^ in the Chandra Deep Field South and in Stripe 82 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We estimate the survey to be 90% complete above 2.5mJy. Of the 85 sources detected, 55percent have steep spectra ({alpha}_1.4_^20^<-0.5) and 45% have flat or inverted spectra ({alpha}_1.4_^20^>=-0.5). The steep-spectrum sources tend to have single power-law spectra between 1.4 and 18GHz, while the spectral indices of the flat- or inverted-spectrum sources tend to steepen with frequency. Among the 18 inverted-spectrum ({alpha}_1.4_^20^>=0.0) sources, 10 have clearly defined peaks in their spectra with {alpha}_1.4_^5.5^>0.15 and {alpha}_9_^18^<-0.15. On a 3-yr time-scale, at least 10 sources varied by more than 15percent at 20GHz, showing that variability is still common at the low flux densities probed by the AT20G-deep pilot survey.

- Description:
- We present a 74MHz survey of a 165deg^2^ region located near the north Galactic pole. This survey has an unprecedented combination of both resolution (25" FWHM) and sensitivity ({sigma} as low as 24mJy/beam). We detect 949 sources at the 5{sigma} level in this region, enough to begin exploring the nature of the 74MHz source population. We present differential source counts, spectral index measurements, and the size distribution as determined from counterparts in the high-resolution FIRST 1.4GHz survey, Cat. <VIII/71>.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The results of an extremely deep, 8-d long observation of the central kpc of the nearby starburst galaxy M82 using Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) at 5GHz are presented. The 17{mu}Jy/beam rms noise level in the naturally weighted image makes it the most sensitive high-resolution radio image of M82 made to date. Over 50 discrete sources are detected, the majority of which are supernova remnants, but with 13 identified as H ii regions. Sizes, flux densities and radio brightnesses are given for all of the detected sources, which are all well resolved with a majority showing shell or partial shell structures. Those sources within the sample which are supernova remnants have diameters ranging from 0.3 to 6.7pc, with a mean size of 2.9pc.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Observations of the ELAIS-N1 field taken at 610MHz with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope are presented. Nineteen pointings were observed, covering a total area of 9 square degrees with a resolution of 6x5arcsec^2^, PA=45deg. Four of the pointings were deep observations with an rms of ~40uJy before primary beam correction, with the remaining fifteen pointings having an rms of ~70uJy. The techniques used for data reduction and production of a mosaicked image of the region are described, and the final mosaic, along with a catalogue of 2500 sources detected above 6{sigma}, are presented. This work complements the large amount of optical and infrared data already available on the region. For further details of the surveys and data analysis procedures please refer to the published paper.
