Radio and Optical Spectra of Sources from the Molonglo Deep Survey
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Extract
We present here preliminary results of further radio and optical work being carried out on the Molonglo Deep Survey (Robertson 1977a, b, c) which reaches a density of ∼ 20,000 sources per sterad at a limiting flux density of 84 mJy at 408 MHz in three small areas of sky at declinations -20° and -62°. The position errors range from 4 to 15 arc sec r.m.s. depending on flux density. Optical identifications are being made by G. W. using the Palomar Sky Survey in the -20° region and the ESO and SRC surveys in the -62° region. In the latter case, where only one colour is available more accurate positions are necessary to identify QSO candidates. The Fleurs synthesis telescope is being used to obtain accurate positions.
