Description:
The results of an absolutely calibrated radio continuum survey of the
South Celestial Hemisphere at a frequency of 1420MHz are presented.
Contour maps show the area 0h≤RA≤24h for the declination range
-90° to -10°. Contour steps (50mK TB; 3xrms noise) and
angular resolution (HPBW 35.4') of the maps match the already existing
Stockert telescope Northern Sky Survey at the same frequency (Reich
1982A&AS...48..219R 1982A&AS...48..219R ; Reich & Reich 1986A&AS...63..205R 1986A&AS...63..205R). We compare
flux densities of compact and extended sources with published data
from the Parkes 64-m telescope and find excellent agreement in
general. The survey maps are sensitive enough to constrain synchrotron
and thermal emission components which might influence studies of the
cosmic microwave background.
