Abstract:
An analysis of 125 radio sources from a 102MHz survey of scintillating
sources is presented. These compact (<1") radio sources are identified
with radio sources in the most sensitive catalogs currently available.
Analysis of the integrated spectra for these objects indicates that
the compact sources have steep spectra ({alpha}>0.5). There is a
tendency for weaker sources to be more compact. The inferred spectral
indices for compact sources in the cores of extended objects are on
average lower than the integrated values. The most likely candidates
for optical counterparts to the compact radio sources from the
scintillating source survey are steep-spectrum quasars.
