Abstract:
A deep survey of the European Large-Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) field in
the southern celestial hemisphere (hereinafter S1) has been carried
out with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) at 1.4GHz. The
S1 region, covering about 4deg2, has also been surveyed in the mid-
and far-infrared (5-200mm) with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO).
The radio survey provides uniform coverage of the entire S1 region,
with a sensitivity (5σ) of 0.4mJy over the whole area and 0.2mJy
in the centre. To this sensitivity, virtually all the radio
counterparts of the far-infrared extragalactic ISO sources should be
detected. This paper presents a radio sample -- complete at the
5σ level -- consisting of 581 sources detected at 1.4GHz. Of
these radio sources, 349 have peak flux density in the range 0.2-1mJy,
forming a new homogeneous sample of sub-mJy radio sources. Due to its
size, depth and multiwaveband coverage, the sample will allow us to
study in greater detail the sub-mJy radio source population.

Note (1): In the form ELAISR JHHMMSS+DDMMSS
Note (2): The different components of multiple sources are labelled 'A', 'B',
etc., followed by a line labelled 'T' in which flux and position
for the total sources are given.
Note (3): The deconvolution code takes the following values:
D = deconvolution of source size from beam OK
P = deconvolution gave results close to point source
F = deconvolution failed
E = multiple source
