Abstract:
We present an updated and newly compiled radio-continuum data base
for Macquarie/AAO/Strasbourg Hα (MASH) planetary nebulae (PNe)
detected in the extant large-scale 'blind' radio-continuum surveys
[NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS), Sydney University Molonglo Sky
Survey/Molonglo Galactic Plane Surveys (SUMSS/MGPS-2) and
Parkes-MIT-NRAO (PMN)] and, for a small number of MASH PNe, observed
and detected in targeted radio-continuum observations. We found radio
counterparts for approximately 250 MASH PNe. In comparison with the
percentage of previously known Galactic PNe detected in the NVSS and
MGPS-2 radio-continuum surveys and according to their position on the
flux density angular diameter and the radio brightness temperature
evolutionary diagrams we conclude, unsurprisingly, that the MASH
sample presents the radio-faint end of the known Galactic PNe
population. Also, we present radio-continuum spectral properties of a
small sub-sample of MASH PNe located in the strip between declinations
-30° and -40°, that are detected in both the NVSS and MGPS-2
radio surveys.
