Australia Telescope Chandra Deep Field-South and SDSS Stripe 82 20-GHz Sources

This table contains a source catalog, one of the first results from a deep, blind radio survey carried out at 20 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array, with follow-up observations at 5.5, 9 and 18 GHz. The Australia Telescope 20GHz (AT20G) deep pilot survey covers a total area of 5 deg² in the Chandra Deep Field South and in Stripe 82 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The authors estimate the survey to be 90% complete above 2.5 mJy. Of the 85 sources detected, 55% have steep spectra (spectral index alpha_1.4²⁰ < -0.5) and 45% have flat or inverted spectra (alpha_1.4²⁰ >= -0.5). The steep-spectrum sources tend to have single power-law spectra between 1.4 and 18 GHz, while the spectral indices of the flat- or inverted-spectrum sources tend to steepen with frequency. Among the 18 inverted-spectrum (alpha_1.4²⁰ >= 0.0) sources, 10 have clearly defined peaks in their spectra with alpha_1.4^5.5 > 0.15 and alpha₉¹⁸ < -0.15. On a 3-yr time-scale, at least 10 sources varied by more than 15 percent at 20 GHz, showing that variability is still common at the low flux densities probed by the AT20G-Deep Pilot (AT20GDP) survey. The AT20G-Deep Pilot survey was carried out with he ATCA in 2009 July, shortly after the telescope was provided with a new wide-bandwidth correlator, the CABB. As a result of this upgrade to the telescope, the observing bandwidth was increased by a factor of 16, from 2x128 to 2x2048 MHz, in all bands (ranging from 1.1 to 105 GHz), greatly increasing the sensitivity of continuum observations. These observations were made in continuum mode using two 2048-MHz CABB bands centered at 19 and 21 GHz, with each 2048-MHz band divided into 2048 1-MHz channels. All four Stokes parameters were measured. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2015 based on the union of <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/439/1212">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/439/1212</a> files table2.dat (the 50 sources in the 3-hr field) and table3.dat (the 35 sources in the 21-hr field).
