Abstract:
We present catalogues of faint 1.4-GHz radio sources from extremely
deep Very Large Array pointings in the Lockman Hole, the Hubble Deep
Field-North (HDF-N) and the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) N2
field. Our analysis of the HDF-N data has produced maps that are
significantly deeper than those previously published, and we have used
these to search for counterparts to submillimetre sources. For each of
the fields, we have derived normalized differential source counts and
in the case of the HDF-N find no evidence for the previously reported
underdensity of sources; our counts are entirely consistent with those
found for the majority of other fields. The catalogues are available
as an online supplement to this paper and the maps are also available
for download.
Description:
Deep, high-resolution, wide-field radio images of three northern
legacy fields were obtained using the NRAO's VLA.
These were the '8-mJy Survey field' located within the Lockman Hole
(Ivison et al., 2002MNRAS.337....1I 2002MNRAS.337....1I), ELAIS N2 (Ivison et al.,
2002MNRAS.337....1I 2002MNRAS.337....1I) and the HDF-N (Richards, 2000, Cat.
J/ApJ/533/611).
