Figure 1: The ux density distribution of confusing sources in the IDV sample
for 1.4 GHz. Smax is the maximum ux density in a confusing source. N
corresponds to the number of confusing sources detected in 101 images of the
IDV sample target sources (no beam shape correction applied).

Figure 2: The number distribution of modulation indices,  of the total ux den-
sity calculated over the duration of each observing run: May 1994 and August
1994. The distributions of  are shown for (a) 2.4 GHz and (b) 4.8 GHz. The
distribution for November are signicantly broader than for May and August.

Figure 5: A comparison of ux densities measured at dierent times between
days and decades. (a) and (b) show the scatter between the mean ux densi-
ties measured one day apart with the ATCA at 2.4 and 4.8 GHz respectively,
triangles correspond to August 1994 data, dots are May 1994 data (c) and (d)
are the scatter plots of average ux densities measured 3 months apart with
the ATCA, (e) and (f) show ux densities measured with ATCA in May 1994
versus ux densities listed in the Parkes catalogue.

respectively. Figures (b), (d), (f) and (h) show August 1994 data for frequen-
cies in the same order.

Figure 11: Distribution in respect to Galactic plane, of the IDV sources which
show the peak of variability at given frequency (a) as compared with the distri-
bution of the whole sample in Galactic coordinates (b). Data points are shown
for May 1994. The total number of sources at dierent frequencies varies, only
sources satisfying 'pointlikeness' criteria (see Table ??) were included. The 1.4
GHz data is not included here due to the larger uncertainties in ux density
measurements. The thick curve shows the limits of the Survey, ф = +10 ф .
