8C
The Eighth Cambridge (8C) Survey of Radio Sources
The 8C survey covers the northern hemisphere above a declination of 60ТА, at 38 MHz, with a resolution of 4.5У?4.5 cosec(declination) arcmin2 (EWУ?NS). (Also see the 6C survey at 151 MHz.)
The published survey contains source lists and images on microfiche. Versions of the survey with the lists and images on paper are available on request.
A revised machine-readable source list, with improved source positions and no redundancy is now available from MRAO by ftp, or from the CDS or SAO catalogue archives.
Please consult and cite the original survey paper by Rees as the primary reference for this survey, with the Hales et al. source list as a supplementary revision – viz refer to: “The revised Rees 38-MHz survey (Rees 1990, catalogue revised Hales et al. 1995).”
