The precision of large radio continuum source catalogues An application of the SPECFIND tool
The accuracy in position and flux density of 19 large radio continuum source catalogues has been determined using SPECFIND, a new tool recently made available through the CDS. The ∼ 67 000 radio continuum spectra with three or more frequencies produced by SPECFIND were used to cross-correlate sources from different catalogues and to calculate offsets in right ascension and declination in the va...
متن کاملThe radio continuum spectrum of Centaurus A’s large-scale components
Using our own observations at 45 MHz and data found in the literature after an exhaustive search, we have attempted a comprehensive study of the integrated flux density spectrum of the Centaurus A radio galaxy and of its large scale components. The spectrum for the whole object, between 10 and 4750 MHz, can be well represented by a power law with a spectral index of −0.70 ± 0.01, disproving the...
متن کاملThe SCUBA Legacy Catalogues: Submillimetre Continuum Objects Detected by SCUBA
We present the SCUBA Legacy Catalogues, two comprehensive sets of continuum maps (and catalogues) using data at 850 μm and 450 μm of the various astronomical objects obtained with the Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array (SCUBA). The Fundamental Map Dataset contains data only where superior atmospheric opacity calibration data were available. The Extended Map Dataset is comprised of data r...
متن کاملCompact 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 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...
