Abstract:
The VLA-COSMOS Large Project is described and its scientific objective
is discussed. We present a catalog of 3600 radio sources found in the
2deg2 COSMOS field at 1.4GHz. The observations in the VLA A and C
configuration resulted in a resolution of 1.5"x1.4" and a mean rms
noise of ∼10.5(15)uJy/beam in the central 1(2)deg2. Eighty radio
sources are clearly extended consisting of multiple components, and
most of them appear to be double-lobed radio galaxies. The astrometry
of the catalog has been thoroughly tested, and the uncertainty in the
relative and absolute astrometry are 130 and <55mas, respectively.
