Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope Spitzer xFLS Field 610-MHz Radio Source Catalog

Published by High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: February 21, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-02-17
This table contains a source catalog based on observations of the Spitzer extragalactic First Look Survey (xFLS) field taken at 610 MHz with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). Seven individual pointings were observed, covering a total area of ~ 4 square degrees with a resolution of 5.8 x 4.7 arcsec<sup>2</sup>, position angle 60 degrees. The rms noise at the center of the pointings is between 27 and 30 microJansky (µJy) before correction for the GMRT primary beam. The techniques used for data reduction and production of a mosaicked image of the region are described in the reference paper, where the final mosaic, along with a catalog of 3944 sources detected above a ~ 5-sigma threshold, are presented. The survey complements existing radio and infrared data available for this region. For further details of the surveys and data analysis procedures, please refer to the published paper. This table contains the xFLS catalog of 3944 610-MHz radio sources detected by the GMRT, the 05-May-2008 (Release 1.1) version provided to the CDS by the co-author Sally Hales (MRAO, Cambridge). In this version, a rounding error in the right ascension and declination positions listed for some sources in the original 10-May-2007 (Release 1.0) version has been corrected. The source IAU designations remain unchanged, having been based on the correctly computed positions throughout. The main purpose in correcting the positions was to eliminate sporadic mismatches between IAU designation and listed position in the first data release. In other respects the effect on the positions is negligible. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2012 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/376/1251">CDS catalog J/MNRAS/376/1251</a> file gmrtfls.dat, the release 1.1 (05-May-2008) version.
