Abstract:
We present the results of the flux density measurements at 4.85GHz and
10.45GHz of a sample of 5998 NVSS radio sources with the Effelsberg
100m telescope. The initial motivation was the need to identify the
NVSS radio sources that could potentially contribute significant
contaminating flux in the frequency range at which the Cosmic
Background Imager experiment operated.
Description:
This table includes the Effelsberg measured flux densities at 4.85 and
10.45GHz along with the NVSS ones of all the sources that do not
suffer from confusion and the computed spectral indices (it is assumed
that S∼nualpha).

Note (2): The detection threshold is 5σ so when there is no detection,
an upper limit of 5σ is given after the symbol "<".
Note (3): Empty field when there is no detection.
Note (4): available when source is detected at both 4.85 and 10.45GHz.
