Abstract:
The results of observations of a complete sample of flat-spectrum
radio sources with spectral indices α>-0.5 are presented. The
sample was selected from the Zelenchuk Survey at 3.9GHz (See Cat.
VIII/49) and contains all sources with declinations 4-6 degrees,
galactic latitudes |b|>10 degrees, and 3.9-GHz fluxes >200mJy. Spectra
at 0.97-21.7 GHz were obtained for all 69 sample sources. The spectra
were classified and a correlation between variability amplitude and
spectrum shape was found.
