VLA SWIRE Deep Field 90-cm Source Catalog

Listed in NASA Data Portal

This table contains some of the results from the deepest radio continuum surveys to date at a radio wavelength of >~ 1m.

Description

The observations were taken with the VLA at 324.5 MHz covering a region of the SWIRE Spitzer Legacy survey, centered at RA and Dec of 10:46:00, +59:01:00 (J2000). The data reduction and analysis are described in the reference paper and a catalog of the sources detected above 5 sigma is presented herein.

The authors also discuss the observed angular size distribution for the sample in their paper, and, using their deeper 20-cm survey of the same field (Owen and Morrison 2008, AJ, 136, 1889), they calculate spectral indices for sources detected in both surveys. They report log N-log S counts at 90 cm which show a flattening below 5 mJy. Given the median redshift of the population, z ~ 1, the spectral flattening and the flattening of the log N-log S counts occur at radio luminosities normally associated with AGN rather than with galaxies dominated by star formation.

Observations were made of a single pointing center position (given above), with the VLA in A and C configurations for a total of almost 85 hours on-source between 2006 February and 2007 January. However, due to the ongoing EVLA upgrade, only 22 working antennae were typically avaliable in A and 18 in C. Thus, the total integration time was equivalent to ~ 63 hours in A and even less in C, with correspondingly less u-v coverage.

This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2010 based on <a href="cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/137/4846/">CDS catalog J/AJ/137/4846/</a> file table2.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
