ADCADC/CDS Standard Document for Catalog:
/external/radio/E8008/

The ADC has expanded its resources in order to better serve our users, we have developed a new category called "external" to complement our catalogs and journal table directories. You can access the data set described here through the URL:

The following is an abbreviated "ReadMe" document that describes this external data set.

Description:   
   A wide-field survey was made at 34.5 MHz using GEETEE, the low-frequency
   telescope at Gauribidanur (latitude 13d 36' 12" N). This telescope was used
   in the transit mode, and by performing one-dimensional synthesis along the 
   N-S direction the entire observable sky was mapped in a single day. This 
   minimized the problems that hinder wide-field low-frequency mapping. This
   survey covers the declination range from -50 to +70 degrees (-33 to +61 
   degrees without aliasing) and the complete 24 hours of right ascension. 
   The synthesized beam has a resolution of 26' x 42'sec(declination-14.1d).
   The sensitivity of the survey is 5 Jy/beam (1 sigma). Special care has been
   taken to ensure that the antenna responds to all angular scale structures
   and is suitable for studies of both point sources and extended objects.
