OCRA-p Survey of a Subset of CRATES Sources

Description

Knowledge of the population of radio sources in the range ~ 2-200 GHz range is important for understanding their effects on measurements of the cosmic microwave background power spectrum. This table contains measurements of the 30-GHz flux densities of 605 radio sources from the Combined Radio All-sky Targeted Eight-GHz Survey (CRATES), which have been made with the One Centimetre Receiver Array-prototype (OCRA-p) on the Torun 32-m telescope. The flux densities of sources that were also observed by Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and previous OCRA surveys are in broad agreement with those reported here, however a number of sources display intrinsic variability. The authors find a good correlation between the 30 GHz and Fermi gamma-ray flux densities for sources in common. In their paper, they examine the radio spectra of all observed sources and report a number of gigahertz-peaked and inverted spectrum sources. These measurements will be useful for comparison to those from the Low Frequency Instrument of the Planck satellite, which will make some of its most sensitive observations in the region covered here. The selection criteria for the subsample of CRATES sources observed by the OCRA-p are given in Section 2 of the reference paper (q.v.). Plots of the measurements of each source over time and the aggregated source spectra between 26 MHz and 150 GHz are available online at the authors' web site: <a href="http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/research/ocra/crates/">http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/research/ocra/crates/</a>. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2011 based on an electronic version of Table 3 of the reference paper which was obtained from the authors' web site <a href="http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/research/ocra/crates/">http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/research/ocra/crates/</a>. Notice that the version here is the 10-Jan-2011 version which contains corrections to the 30-GHz flux densities and their errors of ~ 1% in the calibration and the application of the gain-elevation curve. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
