A Survey of the Continuous Radiation from the Galactic System at a Frequency of 1390 Mc/s. (1958)

Keywords : Radio sources - Nonstellar objects - Westerhout's objects

Abstract:This catalogue was created based on the original published catalogue in the article by Westerhout G., 1958, Bull. Astron. Inst. Netherlands, vol.14, p.215, "A Survey of the Continuous Radiation from the Galactic System at a Frequency of 1390 Mc/s." His article describes the results of a survey of the radiation along the galactic ridge and a search for discrete sources. The observations were made with the 25-m radio telescope at Dwingeloo, which has a beamwidth of 0.57 degree at a frequency of 1390 Mc/s. The catalogue contains positions of 82 discrete sources. The epoch for positions in the original published catalogue was 1957.0. Positions referred to 2000.0 are shown in this machine-readable catalogue. ...(more)
