Australia Telescope ESO Slice Project 1.4-GHz Source Catalog

Description

The Australia Telescope ESO Slice Project (ATESP) survey is a radio survey which was accomplished with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) at 1.4 GHz over the region covered by the ESO Slice Project (ESP: Vettolani et al. 1997, A&A, 325, 954) galaxy redshift survey. This 26-degree<sup>2</sup> region is centered at Declination -40 degrees, and ranges in RA from 22<sup>h</sup> 30<sup>m</sup> to 01<sup>h</sup> 15<sup>m</sup>. The ATESP survey consisted of 16 radio mosaics with 8 x 14 arcseconds resolution and uniform sensitivity (1 sigma noise level of ~ 79 microJansky) over the whole area of the ESP redshift survey. According to the reference paper, the final 6-sigma ATESP catalog contained 2960 sources down to a detection limit of ~ 0.5 mJy (6 sigma), 1402 of which are sub-mJy sources, and 189 of which are multiple sources (168 doubles, 19 triples and 2 quadruples). This table contains the list of 6-sigma or more sources detected in the ATESP survey. For composite sources with multiple components, the individual components each have entries in this table, and there is also an entry for the entire source. Based on the numbers quoted above, this would imply that there should be (2960 + 2*168 + 3*19 + 4*2) = 3361 entries in this table. The HEASARC notes that there are actually 3370 entries in the CDS version of this table that the present table is based on, 169 of which are doubles, 19 triples and 2 quadruples, implying that this version has 2967 sources, slightly more than the number quoted in the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2012 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VIII/63">CDS Catalog VIII/63</a> file atesp.dat.
