Description:
The results of the very-low frequency (16.7MHz) survey of discrete
sources made with the UTR-2 radio telescope is presented. The survey
concerns the declination zones -13° to -2°, 0° to 20°,
and 41° to 60°. The UTR-2 radio source catalogue contains an
estimate of the coordinates and flux densities of 1819 sources
measured at a number of the lowest frequencies used in contemporary
radio astronomy within the range from 10 to 25 MHz.
The catalogue is made of two parts:
mean.dat: the averaged values of the coordinates and the corresponding
errors, the source flux-density at the middle UTR-2 frequency 16.7 MHz
as obtained from measured spectrum of the source at all UTR-2
frequencies and its error, the value of measured low-frequency
spectral index with respect to which the estimate of has been
obtained, the parameter W characterizing the integral reliability of
the obtained source estimates and the corresponding object name from
higher-frequency radio survey provided the source has been identified.
To indicate the integral readability of the source parameters obtained
we used the symbols A, B and C. These reliability estimates take into
account the total number of measurements, coordinate scatter, number
of frequencies and hour-angle settings at which the source parameters
have been evaluated. The highly reliable observation results have been
marked with symbol A . The sources whose parameters can be used
without an additional analysis are marked with B and sources whose
parameters are to be used with care have been marked with C.
data.dat: this file contains the experimental estimates of the source
coordinates and flux densities as well as their errors at each
operating frequency of the UTR-2 in the order of their increasing; the
total number (N) of successive observations according to which the
estimates were obtained and the number of different hour-angle
settings (NRA) of the reception pattern at which the source was
observed. In cases when the observations did not allow us to obtain a
reliable estimates of a source flux density the catalogue contains
only their upper limits which are not accompanied by errors. The
approximated values of as well as low-frequency spectral indices are
presented only for those sources which have flux density estimates
obtained at not less than three different UTR-2 frequencies.
