Abstract:
A radio survey has been made of an area centered at 01h 03min
+29{deg}, using the Westerbork telescope at 1415MHz. The completeness
limit of the survey is 7mJy. Additional observations have been made
at 610MHz. The lick 120" telescope has been used to obtain deep
(O98-O2 emulsion) plates to serve as an optical counterpart. A
catalogue is presented of 58 sources found in the survey. 53 of these
comprise a complete sample. 31 sources of the complete sample lie in
areas of which Lick plates were taken. Of the sources in Lick plates
areas, 11 could be identified with galaxies and 3 with possible QSO's,
yielding an identification percentage of 46. For the other 22 sources
an identification programme was carried out using Palomar Sky Survey
prints and other large 48" Schmidt plates: three of these sources
could be identified with galaxies and two with possible QSO's. The
survey was also used to derive source counts and a spectral index
distribution. The source counts agree well with those derived for an
earlier survey. The spectral index distribution has a mean of 0.52 and
a width of 0.39. the explanation for the flatter spectra is not clear
but might possibly lie in another source population that begins to
dominate the results at low flux densities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): The sources have been named according to a modified Parkes system.
The nomenclature is described in a previous paper
(Katgert et al, 1973A&A....23..171K).
Note (2): Corrections for resolution, if any, and for primary beam pattern
attenuation have been applied.
Note (3): When the source was detected in more than one field
Note (4): For a large part of the magnitude range standards were not easily
available, so the estimates are extrapolated and may be wrong by more
than 1mag.
