A 15 years monitoring program at 408 MHz

A Correlation Interferometer for 408 MHz

One day in the 1980’s I was helping a visiting scientist get his experiment set up at a remote site to the west of Ottawa. This site contained the decaying remains of decades of radio experiments. Among some trees I found an old shed, crammed to the roof with yagi antennas, combiners, hybrids and many matched lengths of heliax coaxial cable. Many were broken, but mixed in with the debris were s...

The 408 MHz B 3 . 2 survey

We present a new 408MHz survey (B3.2) carried out with the “Croce del Nord” radiotelescope in Bologna. The survey coordinates limits are −2◦00′ to +2◦15′ in Dec. and 21h to 24h, 00h to 17h in R.A., equivalent to 0.388 sr. The B3.2 is complete to 0.15 Jy but many sources down to 0.1 Jy are included. Our aim was to select a new and complete sample of Ultra Steep Spectrum (USS) radio sources, as t...

The 408 MHz B 3 . 1 Survey

We present a new 408 MHz survey (B3.1) carried out with the " Croce del Nord " radiotelescope in Bologna. The survey coordinates limits are −2 • 00 ′ to +2 • 15 ′ in Dec. and 21h to 24h, 00h to 17h in R.A., equivalent to 0.388 sr. The B3.1 is complete to 0.15 Jy but many sources down to 0.1 Jy are included. Our aim was to select a new and complete sample of Ultra Steep Spectrum (USS) radio sour...

A 98 % spectroscopically complete sample of the most powerful equatorial radio sources at 408 MHz

A new sample of very powerful radio galaxies is defined from the Molonglo Reference Catalogue, according to the criteria S408MHz > 5 Jy, −30 ◦ ≤ δ ≤ 10◦ and |b| ≥ 10◦. The sample is selected to have similar properties to the northern 3CR revised sample, and to be visible to a combination of existing northern telescopes such as the Very Large Array radio interferometer and the new 8-m class sout...
