AT20G-optical catalogue

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Our current understanding of radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) comes predominantly from studies at frequencies of 5GHz and below.

Description

With the recent completion of the Australia Telescope 20GHz (AT20G) survey, we can now gain insight into the high-frequency radio properties of AGN. This paper presents supplementary information on the AT20G sources in the form of optical counterparts and redshifts.

Optical counterparts were identified using the SuperCOSMOS data base and redshifts were found from either the 6dF Galaxy Survey or the literature. We also report 144 new redshifts. For AT20G sources outside the Galactic plane, 78.5% have optical identifications and 30.9% have redshift information.

The optical identification rate also increases with increasing flux density. Targets which had optical spectra available were examined to obtain a spectral classification.
