Abstract
We present an all-sky flux catalog of 760 H II regions with angular si zes ranging up to 10' at 4.85 GHz. The data were compiled in a self-co nsistent manner from existing images of the Green Bank and Parkes-MIT- NRAO 4.85 GHz radio continuum surveys. Nearly 35% of these H II region s have fluxes measured from these surveys for the first time. We compa red our results to the previously published source catalogs that fit t he same data. The new flux measurements agree within 5%-7% of these va lues and fall well within the formal errors. The diameters fall within 16% of the previously published fits to the same data, which is withi n the formal uncertainties of these values.
