Radio Sources Observed with the Culgoora Circular Array at 80 and 160 MHz

Slee O.B.

Description
This is a final, updated and recalibrated list of sources that were observed with the Culgoora Circular Array (CCA) in the interval 1970-1984. The list contains all the sources that were published in the Culgoora-1,2,3 Lists plus additional sources resulting from a survey of 353 Abell clusters of galaxies.

The observations were made at 80 MHz and 160 MHz with HPBW in RA of 3.70' and 1.85' respectively. The beamwidth in Dec is wider by sec(30.3 + Dec). This list brings together all CCA measurements of flux density, position, spectral index and angular size, with limiting flux densities of 4 Jy at 80 MHz and 2 Jy at 160 MHz. References to the original Culgoora publications are given for each source.

The sources were selected for CCA observations from the Parkes, 4C and Ohio catalogues if an extrapolation of the then existing spectral data indicated that the 80 MHz flux density would be > 5 Jy. In addition, about 300 additional sources were added from lists of special classes of objects such as those discovered at higher frequencies from surveys of the galactic plane, lists of pulsars and supernova remnants, from a list of nearby bright galaxies and finally from a CCA survey of 353 Abell clusters of galaxies. An area of 16'x16' was surveyed about the centres of 3500 fields, resulting in a total survey area of about 0.1 sr at 80 MHz.

General

1. COLUMN name
This column contains the B1950 name of the source, using IAU recommended standards. The first four characters are the hours and minutes of right ascension, and the last four the signed declination in tenths of a degree (truncated). The source names in the original Culgoora-1,2,3 Lists contained the signed declination in degrees (truncated). An asterisk (*) following the source name denotes that this is the centroid of two or more components, which can be located in the maps and tables of references 3,4 and 5 below. The components are not always parts of the same source. The flag '#' indicates that the Culgoora position was lost, but the source can confidently be identified with a source whose coordinates are given in the publication listed in the reference column.
2. COLUMNS ra_1950 dec_1950
These columns contain the B1950 right ascension and declination of the source. The 160 MHz position is given if available, otherwise the 80 MHz position. The positional calibration was obtained by observing at 2-hourly intervals strong unresolved sources with accurate high-frequency positions. Position errors are tabulated for various flux ranges and numbers of observations in the original Culgoora-1,2,3 Lists. The positions of sources with contour maps at 160 MHz are the centroids of the brightness distributions. Positions of other sources were found by fitting a one-dimensional Gaussian to the hour angle drift response and another Gaussian across the declination channels.
3. COLUMNS gal_long gal_lat
These columns contain the galactic longitude and latitude of the source in degrees.
4. COLUMNS flux_160 flux_flg flux_80
The F160 and F80 columns contain the integrated flux densities of the source at 160 MHz and 80 MHz respectively. The flux_flg column contains a '<' if the 80 MHz flux density is an upper limit. A recalibration of the flux scales was carried out by Slee & Siegman (1988). This resulted in our increasing the flux density by an average of 10% at 80 MHz and 12% at 160 MHz. The 160 MHz flux densities of sources with contour maps (entries in the angular size columns) were obtained by integrating the brightness contours.
5. COLUMN sp_index
This column contains the power-law spectral index between 80 and 160 MHz. A negative spectral index implys that flux density is decreasing with frequency.
6. COLUMN cul_ref
This column contains numbers that refer to the original Culgoora publications that contain data about this source. The reference codes are as follows:

13  Douglas 1980 (Texas Survey)                      (2335+000)
Additional data in these papers include 80 MHz positions, optical identifications and beam broadening from the one-dimensional Gaussian fitting. The Culgoora-1,2,3 papers also contain tables listing the expected errors in flux density and position. References 3 and 4 contain the 160 MHz contour maps for many sources. Reference numbers 11,12,13 do not refer to Culgoora publications, but refer to papers containing sources that can be confidently identified with five sources, whose Culgoora positions have been lost.

Additional Information
The basic table was formed by electronically scanning the Culgoora-3 list. Each line was later checked by visual comparison with the unscanned list and scanning errors were corrected manually. Additional sources were added manually from other references in . Angular size information was extracted from references 4 and 5 and added manually to the final table. Positions of five sources for which Culgoora positions had been lost were identified with the help of the EINLINE service and H. Andernach.
