Description:
The main catalog contains positions and flux densities for 8511
sources detected in the Zelenchuk 3.9 GHz Survey with declinations
between 0 and 14 degrees. The survey was originally published in
Amirkhanyan et al. 1989, MIR Publ., Moscow, and contained 8511
sources. The machine version has been cleaned from a few spurious
sources by the authors. The angular resolution is (RA x DEC)
70"/cos(decl) x 50'. The survey is 95 percent complete to the limiting
flux density 50 mJy, except near the boundaries of the declination
zone.
A supplementary catalogue of 2946 radio sources observed during
Zelenchuk survey at 3.9 GHz in the flux density from 40 to 50 mJy
within the declination range 0-14 degrees are presented.
ratan is the first results of the deep search survey over a portion of
the celestial sphere with the radio telescope RATAN-600 at several
cm-wavelengths. The catalogue contains 691 radio sources at 3.9 GHz.
Fluxes at the frequencies 3.9, 4.8, 7.5 and 11.2 GHz have been
measured for the complete sample of the radio sources from the
Zelenchuk survey. The sample contains all sources with S > 200 mJy in
the 4-6 degree declination range.

Note (1):
In the catalogue, the declination was given only as hours and minutes,
due to the sparse resolution in declination. A rough approximation to
positional errors is d(DEC) ~ 0.45'/S[Jy]
Note (2):
A crude estimate of the flux density error is
dS = sqrt((0.1)**2 +(S/10Jy)**2 ) Jy
The errors in flux density and position may be estimated using the
following table:
Flux S(Jy) Error S(mJy) dPA cosD (sec) dD (')
