Abstract:
We present a catalog of 8358 sources extracted from images produced by
the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS). The BGPS is a survey of the
millimeter dust continuum emission from the northern Galactic plane.
The catalog sources are extracted using a custom algorithm, Bolocat,
which was designed specifically to identify and characterize objects
in the large-area maps generated from the Bolocam instrument. The
catalog products are designed to facilitate follow-up observations of
these relatively unstudied objects. The catalog is 98% complete from
0.4Jy to 60Jy over all object sizes for which the survey is sensitive
(<3.5'). We find that the sources extracted can best be described as
molecular clumps-large dense regions in molecular clouds linked to
cluster formation. We find that the flux density distribution of
sources follows a power law with dN/dS∝S-2.4±0.1 and that
the mean Galactic latitude for sources is significantly below the
midplane: =(-0.095±0.001°).
Description:
The BGPS is described in full detail in Paper I, Aguirre et al., 2010,
submitted. The survey uses the 144-element Bolocam array on the
Caltech Submillimeter Observatory, which observes in a band centered
at 268GHz (1.1mm) and a width of 46GHz.
