Compact continuum source finding for next generation radio surveys
We present a detailed analysis of four of the most widely used radio source-finding packages in radio astronomy, and a program being developed for the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder telescope. The four packages: SEXTRACTOR, SFIND, IMSAD and SELAVY are shown to produce source catalogues with high completeness and reliability. In this paper we analyse the small fraction (∼1 per cent...
متن کاملA semi-empirical simulation of the extragalactic radio continuum sky for next generation radio telescopes
We have developed a semi-empirical simulation of the extragalactic radio continuum sky suitable for aiding the design of next generation radio interferometers such as the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). The emphasis is on modelling the large-scale cosmological distribution of radio sources rather than the internal structure of individual galaxies. Here we provide a description of the simulation t...
متن کاملRadio Halos in future surveys in the radio continuum
Aims. Giant radio halos are mega-parsec scale synchrotron sources detected in a significant fraction of massive and merging galaxy clusters. Radio halos provide one of the most important pieces of evidence of non-thermal components in large-scale structure. Their statistical properties can be used to discriminate among various models for their origin. Therefore, theoretical predictions of the o...

متن کاملScience with the next generation of radio surveys from LOFAR to the SKA
Over the next few years the new radio telescopes, such as the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) will greatly enhance our knowledge of the active history of the Universe. Large-area surveys with these new telescopes will no longer be dominated by the powerful active galactic nuclei, but by radio-quiet quasars and star-forming galaxies over all cosmic epochs. Further in the future (∼ 2014) the Square K...
