Abstract:
We use new VLA Galactic plane catalogs at 5 and 1.4 GHz covering the
first Galactic quadrant (350°≤l≤42°, |b|≤0.4°) in
conjunction with the MSX6C Galactic plane catalog (Cat. V/114) to
construct a large sample of ultracompact H II regions. A radio catalog
of this region was first published by Becker et al. (Cat.
J/ApJS/91/347, but we have added new observations and rereduced the
data with significantly improved calibration and mosaicking
procedures, resulting in a tripling of the number of 5GHz sources
detected. Comparison of the new 5GHz catalog and the MSX6C Galactic
plane catalog resulted in a sample of 687 matches, out of which we
estimate only 15 to be chance coincidences.
