Abstract:
Star-forming galaxies are thought to dominate the sub-mJy radio
population, but recent work has shown that low-luminosity active
galactic nuclei (AGNs) can still make a significant contribution to
the faint radio source population. Spectral indices are an important
tool for understanding the emission mechanism of the faint radio
sources. We have observed the extended Chandra Deep Field South at
5.5GHz using a mosaic of 42 pointings with the Australia Telescope
Compact Array. Our image reaches an almost uniform sensitivity of
∼12Jy rms over 0.25deg2 with a restoring beam of
4.9"x2.0", making ATLAS 5.5GHz survey one of the deepest 6cm
surveys to date. We present the 5.5GHz catalogue and source counts
from this field. We take advantage of the large amount of ancillary
data in this field to study the 1.4 to 5.5GHz spectral indices of the
sub-mJy population.
Description:
We observed the eCDFS at 6 cm in two runs using the new Compact Array
Broadband Backend (CABB; Wilson et al. 2011MNRAS.416..832W 2011MNRAS.416..832W) with the
full CABB 2048MHz bandwidth centred at 5.5GHz.
The first run in 2009 August consisted of an initial set of 12 and 8h
observations. A further 144h was allocated in 2010 January.
