ADCADC/CDS Standard Document for Catalog:
/external/radio/E8014/

The ADC has expanded its resources in order to better serve our users, we have d eveloped a new category called "external" to complement our catalogs and journal table directories. You can access the data set described here through the URL:
http://ndadsd.gsfc.nasa.gov/ndads/archives_form_NRAO.html.

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

Description:
   The survey contains 144 maps that cover the declination zone -5 to +82
   degrees from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) 1400-MHz
   survey.  The observations were made during 1983 April 2-21, with the
   rebuilt four-feed receiver on the NRAO 91-m transit telescope in Green
   Bank.  Its resolution is 12.7 arcmin x 11.1 arcmin.  These maps contain
   3000 sources per sr stronger than 0.15 Jy, which is six times the rms
   noise.  They are available in the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS)
   standard and can be studied with standard Astronomical Image
   Processing System (AIPS) display and analysis programs.

Remarks:
   The imagery data is available from the NDADS near-line system. 
   The URL in the Location section above is the pointer to the
   data request form. On the data request form are further pointers
   that will need to be consulted for proper formats for the fields
   to be filled out.
