چکیده

We present catalogues of faint 1.4-GHz radio sources from extremely-deep Very Large Array pointings in the Lockman Hole, the Hubble Deep Field North (HDF-N) and ELAIS N2. Our analysis of the HDF-N data has produced maps that are significantly deeper than those previously published and we have used these to search for counterparts to submm sources. For each of the fields we have derived normalised differential source counts and in the case of the HDF-N find no evidence for the previously-reported under-density of sources; our counts are entirely consistent with those found for the majority of other fields. The catalogues are available as an online supplement to this paper and the maps are also available for download.

A search for radio emission from Galactic supersoft X-ray sources

We have made a deep search for radio emission from all the northern hemisphere supersoft X-ray sources using the VLA and MERLIN telescopes, at 5 and 8.4 GHz. Three previously undetected sources: T Pyx, V1974 Cygni and RX J0019.8+2156 were imaged in quiescence using the VLA in order to search for any persistent emission. No radio emission was detected in any of the VLA fields down to a typical 1...

Gravitationally Lensed μJy Radio Sources towards Galaxy Clusters

Galaxy clusters are expected to gravitationally lens background radio sources. However, due to the smaller surface density of radio sources, when compared to optical galaxies, such lensed events are rare. For an example, it is expected that there is no lensed radio source due to foreground galaxy clusters in the 1.4 GHz VLA FIRST survey. However, at the μJy level, the surface density of radio s...

NOIRCAT – The Northern HIPASS Optical/IR Catalogue

We present the Northern HIPASS Optical/InfraRed CATalogue (NOIRCAT), an optical/near-infrared counterpart to the Northern HIPASS catalogue (NHICAT). Of the 1002 sources in NHICAT, 655 (66%) have optical counterparts with matching optical velocities. A further 85 (8%) sources have optical counterparts with matching velocities from previous radio emission-line surveys. We find a correlation betwe...

The Nature of Radio Emission from Distant Galaxies: The 1.4 GHz Observations

We have conducted a deep radio survey with the Very Large Array at 1.4 GHz of a region containing the Hubble Deep Field. This survey overlaps previous observations at 8.5 GHz allowing us to investigate the radio spectral properties of microjansky sources to flux densities greater than 40 μJy at 1.4 GHz and greater than 8 μJy at 8.5 GHz. A total of 371 sources have been catalogued at 1.4 GHz as ...

Radio Emission from Galaxies In The Hubble Deep Field

We report on sensitive radio observations made with the VLA at 8.5 GHz, centered on the Hubble Deep Field (HDF). We collected data in the A, CnB, C, DnC, and D configurations, corresponding to angular resolutions ranging from 0.3 to 10. We detected 29 radio sources in a complete sample within 4.6 of the HDF center and above a flux density limit of 9.0 μJy (5 σ). Seven of these sources are locat...
