- Description:
- The authors report results of the first phase of observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) at 5 and 9 GHz of the fields around 411 gamma-ray sources having declinations less than +10 degrees which were detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, but marked as unassociated in the 2nd Fermi Large-Area Telescope (2FGL) Catalog (available at the HEASARC as the FERMILPSC table). They have detected 424 radio sources with flux densities in the range from 2 mJy to 6 Jy in the fields of 283 gamma-ray sources within their gamma-ray position error ellipses (drawn to cover the area of 99 per cent probability of their localization). Of these, 146 objects were detected in both 5- and 9-GHz bands. The authors found 84 sources with spectral indices flatter than -0.5 in their sample. The majority of detected sources are weaker than 100 mJy and for this reason were not found in previous surveys. Approximately 1/3 of this sample, 128 objects, have the probability of being associated which is more than 10 times the probability of their being a background source found in the vicinity of the gamma-ray object by chance. This table contains the catalog of positions of these radio sources, estimates of their flux densities and their spectral indices, when available. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2013 based on the electronic versions of Tables 1, 2 and 3 from the reference paper which were obtained from the MNRAS web site.

- Australia Telescope 20-GHz (AT20G) High-Angular Resolution Catalog
- Short Name:
- AT20GHARC
- Date:
- 02 May 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains the high-angular-resolution catalog for the Australia Telescope 20-GHz (AT20G) survey, using the high-angular-resolution 6-km antenna data at the baselines of ~4500 m of the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The authors have used the data to produce the visibility catalog that separates the compact active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the extended radio sources at the 0.15-arcsecond angular scale, corresponding to the linear size scale of 1 kpc at redshifts higher than 0.7. They find the radio population at 20 GHz to be dominated by compact AGNs constituting 77% of the total sources in the AT20G. In the paper, they introduce the visibility-spectra diagnostic plot, produced using the AT20G cross-matches with lower frequency radio surveys at 1 GHz [the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS: Condon et al. 1998, AJ, 115, 1693) and the Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS: Mauch et al. 2003, MNRAS, 342, 1117)], that separates the 20-GHz population into distinct sub-populations of the compact AGNs, the compact steep-spectrum (CSS) sources, the extended AGN-powered sources and extended flat-spectrum sources. The extended flat-spectrum sources include a local thermal emitting population of high-latitude planetary nebulae and also gravitational lens and binary black hole candidates among the AGNs. The authors find a smooth transition in properties between the CSS sources and the AGN populations. The visibility catalog, together with the main AT20G survey, provides an estimate of angular size scales for sources in the AT20G and an estimate of the flux arising from central cores of extended radio sources. The identification of the compact AGNs in the AT20G survey provides high-quality calibrators for high-frequency radio telescope arrays and very large baseline interferometry observations. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2013 based on machine-readable versions of Tables 2 and 3 from the reference paper which were obtained from the MNRAS web site.

- Australia Telescope 20-GHz (AT20G) Survey Catalog
- Short Name:
- AT20G
- Date:
- 02 May 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Australia Telescope 20-GHz Survey (AT20G) is a blind radio survey carried out at 20 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) from 2004 to 2008, and covers the whole sky south of declination 0 degrees. The AT20G source catalogue presented here is an order of magnitude larger than any previous catalogue of high-frequency radio sources, and includes 5890 sources above a 20-GHz flux-density limit of 40 mJy. All AT20G sources have total intensity and polarisation measured at 20 GHz, and most sources south of declination -15 degrees also have near-simultaneous flux-density measurements at 5 and 8 GHz. A total of 1559 sources were detected in polarised total intensity at one or more of the three frequencies. The completeness of the AT20G source catalog is 91% above 100 mJy/beam and 79% above 50 mJy/beam in regions south of Declination -15 degrees. North of -15 degrees, some observations of sources between 14 and 20 hours in RA were lost due to bad weather and could not be repeated, so the catalog completeness is lower in this region. Each detected source was visually inspected as part of the authors' quality control processs, and so the reliability of the final catalog is essentially 100%. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2010 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/402/2403/">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/402/2403/</a> file at20gcat.dat.

- Description:
- The Australia Telescope 20-GHz (AT20G) Survey is a blind survey of the whole southern sky at 20 GHz (with follow-up observations at 4.8 and 8.6 GHz) carried out with the Australia Telescope Compact Array from 2004 to 2007. The Bright Source Sample (BSS) is a complete flux-limited sub-sample of the AT20G Survey catalog comprising 320 extragalactic (|b| > 1.5 degrees) radio sources south of declination -15 degrees with 20-GHz flux densities S<sub>20GHz</sub> > 0.50 Jy (500 mJy). Of these sources, 218 have near simultaneous observations at 8 and 5 GHz. In the reference paper, the authors present an analysis of the radio spectral properties in total intensity and polarization, size, optical identifications and redshift distribution of the BSS sources. Optical identifications provided an estimation of redshift for 186 sources with median values of 1.20 and 0.13 for QSOs and galaxies, respectively.

- Australia Telescope Hubble Deep Field-South 2.5, 5.2 and 8.7-GHz Source Catalog
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- Deep radio observations of a wide region centered on the Hubble Deep Field-South (HDF-S) have been performed, providing one of the most sensitive sets of radio observations acquired on the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) to date. A central rms of ~ 10 µJy is reached at four frequencies (1.4, 2.5, 5.2, and 8.7 GHz). In this table, the full source catalogs from the 2.5, 5.2, and 8.7 GHz observations are presented to complement the data for the 1.4 GHz observations which were presented in Paper II (Huynh et al., 2005, AJ, 130, 1373, available at the HEASARC as the ATHDFS1P4G table) in this series, along with a detailed analysis of image quality and noise. The authors also have produced a consolidated catalog of all of their ATCA observations of the HDF-S by matching sources across all four of the frequencies in their survey (available at the HEASARC as the ATHDFSCCAT table). The details of the observations and data reduction are discussed in detail in Paper I of this series (Norris et al., 2005, AJ, 130, 1358) and summarized in Table 1 of the reference paper. The observations consist of single pointings centered on RA (J2000.0) = 22<sup>h</sup> 33<sup>m</sup> 25.96<sup>s</sup>, Dec (J2000.0) = -60<sup>o</sup> 38' 09.0" (2.5 GHz), and RA (J2000.0) = 22<sup>h</sup> 32<sup>m</sup> 56.22<sup>s</sup>, Dec (J2000.0) = -60<sup>o</sup> 33' 02.7" (5.2 and 8.7 GHz). The 5.2 and 8.7 GHz observations are centered on the HST WFPC field, while the 2.5 GHz observations were pointed halfway between the WFPC field and a bright confusing source to allow the bright source to be well cleaned from the 2.5 GHz image. At 5 sigma, the 5.2 and 8.7 GHz catalogs have over 96% reliability. At 2.5 GHz, the authors have enough statistics to examine the 5 - 5.5 sigma sources, and find that these are only about 40% reliable. With a SNR greater than 5.5 sigma, the 2.5 GHz catalog would have about 99% reliability. The authors thus cut off the catalogs at 5.5, 5, and 5 sigma for 2.5, 5.2, and 8.7 GHz, respectively. The final catalogs have 71, 24, and 6 sources at 2.5, 5.2, and 8.7 GHz, respectively. Given a prior 1.4 GHz position, it may be feasible to push the detection limit lower than 5 sigma. The authors searched for low-SNR sources by matching 3 - 5 sigma sources that lie within 2 sigma positional uncertainty of a 1.4 GHz source. The positional uncertainty was determined by adding the average 1.4 GHz uncertainty (1.1") in quadrature with the positional uncertainty of a 3 sigma source. At 2.5 GHz the allowed positional offset is 3.8", and for 5.2 and 8.7 GHz it is 2.8". Thus, there are 71, 18, and 2 sources at 2.5, 5.2, and 8.7 GHz, respectively, which are low-SNR high-frequency counterparts to 1.4 GHz sources. The authors included these sources in supplementary catalogs. This HEASARC table contains all 101 primary sources detected at 2.5, 5.2, and 8.7 GHz, as well as the 91 supplementary sources described above (the latter are flagged by having source_flag values of 'S'), for a grand total of 192 radio sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2012 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/130/1371">CDS Catalog J/AJ/130/1371</a> files table47.dat, table58.dat and table68.dat, which contain the entire contents of Tables 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 from the published paper.

- Description:
- Deep radio observations of a wide region centered on the Hubble Deep Field-South (HDF-S) have been performed, providing one of the most sensitive sets of radio observations acquired on the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) to date. A central rms of ~ 10 µJy is reached at four frequencies (1.4, 2.5, 5.2, and 8.7 GHz). In this table, the combined 4-frequency AT-HDFS Catalog including fluxes and spectral indices for sources detected at 1.4, 2.5, 5.2, and/or 8.7 GHz observations is presented to complement the single-frequency radio data for the 1.4 GHz observations which were presented in Paper II (Huynh et al., 2005, AJ, 130, 1373, available at the HEASARC as the ATHDFS1P4G table) in this series, and for the 2.5, 5.2, and/or 8.7 GHz observations which were presented in the reference paper (Paper III, Huynh et al., 2007, AJ, 133, 1331, available at the HEASARC as the ATHDFS3FRQ table). The details of the observations and data reduction are discussed in detail in Paper I of this series (Norris et al., 2005, AJ, 130, 1358) and summarized in Table 1 of the reference paper. The radio observations were carried out by the ATCA over 4 years from 1998 to 2001. The observations at 1.4 and 2.5 GHz consist of single pointings centered on RA (J2000.0) = 22<sup>h</sup> 33<sup>m</sup> 25.96<sup>s</sup>, Dec (J2000.0) = -60<sup>o</sup> 38' 09.0". The observations at 5.2 and 8.7 GHz consist of single pointings centered on RA (J2000.0) = 22<sup>h</sup> 32<sup>m</sup> 56.22<sup>s</sup>, Dec (J2000.0) = -60<sup>o</sup> 33' 02.7". The 5.2 and 8.7 GHz observations are centered on the HST WFPC field, while the 1.4 and 2.5 GHz observations were pointed halfway between the WFPC field and a bright confusing source to allow the bright source to be well cleaned from the 1.4 and 2.5 GHz images. This HEASARC table contains the final consolidated catalog of 473 individual sources and gives the flux densities at all frequencies for each individual radio source. It contains the 466 1.4-GHz sources from Paper II together with 5 unmatched 2.5-GHz sources and 2 unmatched 8.7-GHz sources. The procedure that the authors used to construct this catalog is discussed in Section 6 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2012 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/130/1371">CDS Catalog J/AJ/130/1371</a> file table9.dat which contains the entire contents of Table 9 from the published paper.

- Description:
- This table derives from a paper which is part of a series describing the results from the Australia Telescope Hubble Deep Field-South (ATHDFS) survey obtained with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. This survey consists of observations at 1.4, 2.5, 5.2, and 8.7 GHz, all centered on the Hubble Deep Field-South. Herein are presented the first results from the extended observing campaign at 1.4 GHz. A total of 466 sources have been cataloged to a local sensitivity of 5-sigma (11 µJy rms). A source extraction technique is developed that (1) successfully excludes spurious sources from the final source catalogs and (2) accounts for the nonuniform noise in the image. A source catalog is presented, and the general properties of the 1.4-GHz image are discussed in the reference paper. In the latter, the authors also present source counts derived from their ATHDFS 1.4-GHz catalog. The 1.4 GHz observations were carried out by the Australia Telescope Compact Array over 4 years from 1998 to 2001. They consist of single pointings centered on RA (J2000.0) = 22<sup>h</sup> 33<sup>m</sup> 25.96<sup>s</sup>, Dec (J2000.0) = -60<sup>o</sup> 38' 09.0".

- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Australia Telescope Hubble Deep Field-South (ATHDF-S) survey of the Hubble Deep Field-South (HDF-S) reaches sensitivities of ~ 10 µJy (µJy) at 1.4, 2.5, 5.2, and 8.7 GHz, making the ATHDF-S one of the deepest surveys ever performed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). This table contains the optical identifications of the ATHDF-S radio sources (the radio data from which are available in summarized form in the HEASARC ATHDFSCCAT table) using data from the literature. The authors find that ~ 66% of the radio sources have optical counterparts to an I magnitude of 23.5 mags. Deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of the area identifies a further 12% of the radio sources. In this table, the authors present data from new spectroscopic observations for 98 of the radio sources and supplement these spectroscopic redshifts with photometric ones calculated from five-band optical imaging. The radio observations and data reduction are detailed in Papers I-III of this series: <pre> I = Norris et al., 2005, AJ, 130, 1358; II = Huynh et al., 2005, AJ, 130, 1373, available at the HEASARC as the ATHDFS1P4G table; III = Huynh et al., 2007, AJ, 133, 1331, available at the HEASARC as the ATHDFSCCAT and ATHDFS3FRQ tables. </pre> Palunas et al. (2000, ApJ, 541, 61) observed the HDF-S region using the Big Throughput Camera (BTC) on the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) 4m during 1998 September. Images were taken in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) u, Johnson B and V, and Cousins R and I filters. In addition, the authors obtained spectra of the ATHDF-S radio sources over two service nights in 2001 July and 2003 October using the multi-fiber 2dF instrument of the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). They acquired low-resolution (9 Angstrom) spectra over the wavelength range from 3800 to 8000 Angstroms. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2012 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/135/2470">CDS Catalog J/AJ/135/2470</a> files table1.dat and table10.dat which contain the entire contents of Tables 1 and 10 from the published paper.

- Description:
- The Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS) has surveyed 7 square degrees of sky around the Chandra Deep Field South and the European Large Area ISO Survey-South 1 fields at 1.4GHz. ATLAS aims to reach a uniform sensitivity of 10uJy/beam rms over the entire region with first data release currently reaching ~30uJy/beam rms. Here we present 466 new spectroscopic redshifts for radio sources in ATLAS as part of our optical follow-up programme. Of the 466 radio sources with new spectroscopic redshifts, 142 have star-forming optical spectra, 282 show evidence for active galactic nuclei (AGN) in their optical spectra, 10 have stellar spectra and 32 have spectra revealing redshifts, but with insufficient features to classify.
