Description:
The AMI Galactic Plane survey is being made with the Arcminute
Microkelvin Imager (AMI) Small Array at 15.7GHz and with resolution
of approximately 3arcmin. This is the first data release, covering
∼868deg2 of the Northern Galactic plane between |b|~±5° and
above δ=40° with a noise level of ∼3mJy/beam away from
bright sources. The source catalogue contains a total of 3503 sources.

ecrit=3.0bmaj/sqrt(ρ) (ρ is the signal-to-noise ratio)
when larger than 100arcsec.
