Abstract:
We present a new catalogue of ALMA observations, the ALMA Calibrator
Catalogue (ACC), collecting 3361 bright, compact radio sources, mostly
blazars, used as calibrators. These sources were observed between 2011
May and 2018 July, for a total of 47115 pointings in different bands
and epochs. A search in the online data bases yielded redshift
measurements for 2245 sources.
Description:
These sources were observed by ALMA between 2011 May and 2018 July,
for a total of 47115 observations in different bands and epochs. We
have 25907 observations of 3310 different sources in band 3
(84-116GHz), 671 observations of 171 sources in band 4
(125-163GHz), 8467 observations of 885 sources in band 6
(211-275GHz), 11415 observations of 2201 sources in band 7
(275-373GHz), 394 observations of 88 sources in band 8
(385-500GHz), 253 observations of 59 sources in band 9
(602-720GHz), and 8 observations of 6 sources in band 10
(787-950GHz). The ACC catalogue contains the ALMA name of the
source, its classification, redshift (when available), equatorial
coordinates (J2000), flux density measurements with their
uncertainties, effective observing frequency, date, and time of
observations. The ACC catalogue was built by combining the Bonato et
al. (2018MNRAS.478.1512B 2018MNRAS.478.1512B, Cat. J/MNRAS/478/1512) catalogue with the
'ALMA Calibrator Source Catalogue' (available at
https://almascience.eso.org/sc/).
