Catalogues from a Deep 327 MHz Westerbork Survey

Description
We present the results of a deep survey of six fields with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope at 327 MHz. The angular resolution of the WSRT telescope is approximately 52"x52"*(csc DEC) at 327 MHz and 28"x28"*(csc DEC) at 608 MHz, though the actual values vary slightly due to details of uv- coverage. In total we have detected 4519 sources brighter than our 5-sigma noise level, which ranges from 2.4-3.5 mJy/beam, over an area of ~95 square degrees. For four fields we also obtained 608 MHz observations, for the remaining two fields 608 MHz observations were already available. This online version of the catalog merges the source catalogues at both frequencies. These data were originally part of a PhD-thesis at Leiden Observatory by M.H. Wieringa (1991).

1. COLUMN name
This columns contains the name of the source composed of the Westerbork survey name + source number in form nnWmmmmM, where nn is Westerbork survey number, mmmm the source sequence number and M is ' ' for single sources, '*' for multiples, 'A', 'B', 'C',... for components.

Sources detected at both frequencies have corresponding numbers in the 327 MHz (92cm) and 608 MHz (50cm) lists, but components of multiple sources do not necessarily correspond between the two frequencies. Also in some cases one or more components may not be detected at the other frequency. The Westerbork survey numbers are as follows:

   64W2: Lynx, 327 MHz only (this field has been mapped at this
         frequency before by M.J.A. Oort (thesis), with a 2 appended
         to the W to indicate the revised list), numbers do not
         correspond because the present survey is more sensitive.
   69W : Draco, a survey of 2 overlapping fields at 327 MHz and 6 fields
         at 608 MHz.
   70W : Umi, 327 MHz only, one field.
   75W : OH471, one 327 MHz field and three 608 MHz fields
   76W : Cam, one 327 MHz field and three 608 MHz fields
Example (name) (char8): '76W0771*' 2. COLUMN freq This column indicates whether the source was observed at 327 or 608 MHz.

Example (freq) (int): 327 or 608

3. COLUMNS ra_1950 ra_1950_deg dec_1950 dec_1950_deg
These columns give the B1950 right ascension and declination, in radians and in degrees.
Example (ra_1950) (real): 2.328327
Example (ra_1950_deg) (real): 133.403290

5. COLUMNS flux flux_err
These columns give the flux density and error, in mJy, of the source at the frequency given in the freq column. The data were calibrated using the DWARF redundancy package and absolute calibration is based on 3C286, using a flux of 26.93 Jy at 327 MHz and 21.47 Jy at 608 MHz. The source parameters were determined using a gaussian fitting procedure for all but the most complex sources and statistical corrections for noise bias were applied.

Example (flux_err) (real): 14.00
6. COLUMN res
This column gives a flag indicating whether or not the source was resolved. The following are used:
U: unresolved
R: resolved, fitted gaussian parameters follow
E: extended, multiple components found and given on subsequent lines)
Example (res) (char1): 'U' or 'R' or 'E'
7. COLUMN limit
This column is marked with a '<' if the size that follows is an estimated upper limit (for unresolved sources).
Example (limit) (char1): '<' 8. COLUMNS maj_axis maj_err min_axis These columns give information on the size of the source. The major axis (FWHM) of the fitted gaussian (for resolved sources) or maximum component separation (for extended sources) is given (in arcsec) in the maj_axis column. The error in major axis (in arcsec) is given in the maj_err column. The minor axis (FWHM) of the fitted gaussian (in arcsec) is given in the min_axis column.
