A Deep 150 MHz GMRT Survey in Eridanus
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present results of a 150 MHz survey of a field centered on ǫ Eridani, undertaken with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). The survey covers an area with a diameter of ∼ 2, has a spatial resolution of ∼ 30 and a noise level of σ = 3.1 mJy at the pointing centre. These observations provide a deeper and higher resolution view of the 150 MHz radio sky than the 7C survey (although the 7C survey covers a much larger area). A total of 113 sources were detected, most are point-like, but 20 are extended. We present an analysis of these sources, in conjunction with the NVSS (at 1.4 GHz) and VLSS (at 74 MHz). This process allowed us to identify 5 Ultra Steep Spectrum (USS) radio sources that are candidate high redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs). In addition, we have derived the dN/dS distribution for these observations and compare our results with other low frequency radio surveys.

327-MHz GMRT observations of one candidate and three Galactic Supernova Remnants
Results from the 327-MHz Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of four fields three fields containing Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) (G001.4−0.1, G003.8+0.3, and G356.3−1.5) and one field containing a candidate SNR (G004.2+0.0), are reported in this paper. These fields were selected from the 843-MHz survey conducted by Gray (1994b) using the Molonglo Synthesis Telescope (MOST)...
متن کاملA 610-MHz Galactic Plane Pulsar Search with the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope
We report on the discovery of three new pulsars in the first blind survey of the north Galactic plane (45◦ < l < 135 ; |b| < 1) with the Giant Meterwave Radio telescope (GMRT) at an intermediate frequency of 610 MHz. The timing parameters, obtained in follow up observations with the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory and the GMRT, are presented.
متن کاملThe H i content of the Eridanus group of galaxies
The H i content of galaxies in the Eridanus group is studied using the GMRT observations and the HIPASS data. A significant H i deficiency up to a factor of 2 − 3 is observed in galaxies in the high galaxy density regions. The H i deficiency in galaxies is observed to be directly correlated with the local projected galaxy density, and inversely correlated with the line-of-sight radial velocity....
متن کاملRadio continuum and far - infrared emission from the galaxies in the Eridanus group
The Eridanus galaxies follow the well-known radio-FIR correlation. Majority (70%) of these galaxies have their star formation rates below that of the Milky Way. The galaxies having a significant excess of radio emission are identified as low lumi-nosity AGNs based on their radio morphologies obtained from the GMRT observations. There are no powerful AGNs (L 20cm > 10 23 W Hz −1) in the group. T...
