Compact Structure in FIRST Survey Sources
نویسنده
چکیده
We present preliminary results from a statistical survey of compact structure in faint radio sources. Around 1000 sources from the VLA FIRST survey (flux densities ≥ 1 mJy at 1.4 GHz) have been observed with the single-baseline interferometer Effelsberg-Arecibo. We observed each source, selected from a narrow strip of sky at declination 28, for just one minute. The baseline sensitivity at 1.4 GHz, using 512 Mb/s recording, is such that any FIRST source, selected at random, would be detected if most of its flux density is in compact structure. We discuss the detection-rate statistics from one epoch of these observations.

VLBA Astrometry of Compact Radio Sources in the Spitzer First-Look Survey
The NRAO Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) was used at 1.4 GHz to image 20 compact sources in the inner 1 radius of the Spitzer VLA First-Look Survey. Twelve sources were detected with the VLBA, with peak flux densities above 2 mJy at 9-mas resolution. The positions of these VLBA detections have been measured in the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) to 1σ accuracies of 8 mas East-Wes...

Three hundred fifty three radio sources from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) (Condon et al. 1998) and the FIRST Survey (White et al. 1997), are detected in the areas of 179 Shakhbazian Compact Groups (ShCGs) of galaxies. Ninety three of them are identified with galaxies in 74 ShCGs. Six radio sources have complex structure. The radio spectra of 22 sources are determined. Radio luminosities of ga...
متن کاملDesign of Compact Multi-Channel Diplexer Using Defected Microstrip Structure
In this paper, two compact quad-channel and six-channel diplexer are designed and fabricated using defected microstrip structure (DMS). This structure is designed for the desired frequency based on the literature reviews. The proposed configuration is composed of a conventional T-junction divider with two pairs of open bended stubs and dual/tri-band filters. In designing dual band filters, a lo...
متن کاملMulti Attribute Analysis of a Novel Compact UWB Antenna with Via-fed Elements for Dual Band Notch Function (RESEARCH NOTE)
A compact microstrip-fed antenna with dual notched bands is proposed. First, a simple basic configuration is presented for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications and then the dual band notched structure is extended from the UWB one. The basic structure of the UWB antenna consists of a simple square radiating patch and a ground plane with a wide square slot on back of the substrate. A semi-circle sh...
متن کاملDeep Extragalactic VLBI - Optical Survey ( DEVOS ) II . Efficient VLBI
Context. The Deep Extragalactic VLBI-Optical Survey (DEVOS) aims at constructing a large sample of compact radio sources up to two orders of magnitude fainter than those studied in other Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) surveys. Optical identification of the objects is ensured by selecting them from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) list. Aims. While continuing to build up the DEVOS d...
