Abstract:
We have used the MHW2 filter to obtain estimates of the flux densities
at the WMAP frequencies of a complete sample of 2491 sources, mostly
brighter than 500mJy at 5GHz, distributed over the whole sky
excluding a strip around the Galactic equator (|b|≤5°). After
having detected 933 sources at the ≥3σ level in the MHW2 filtered
maps-our New Extragalactic WMAP Point Source Catalogue
(NEWPS3σ)-we are left with 381 sources at ≥5σ in at
least one WMAP channel, 369 of which constitute our NEWPS5σ
catalog. It is remarkable to note that 98 (i.e., 26%) sources detected
at are "new," they are not present in the WMAP catalog.

Note (1): Sources identified as NEWPS5 HH.hhh+DD.ddd in Simbad.
Note (2): The closest source present in the PMN or GB6 catalogs or the
brightest NVSS or SUMSS source within the resolution element (i.e.,
inside the FWHM of the beam of the given WMAP frequency channel)
Note (3): 'M' indicataes that at least another source inside the beam has
a 5GHz flux within a factor of 2 from the brightest one, that we list
as the likely identification
