INTERFEROMETER PHASE CALIBRATION SOURCES - III - THE REGIONS AL-TO-DELTA(B1950)LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO+35-DEGREES AND O-DELTA(B1950)LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO+90-DEGREES(20)
Pn. Wilkinson et al., INTERFEROMETER PHASE CALIBRATION SOURCES - III - THE REGIONS AL-TO-DELTA(B1950)LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO+35-DEGREES AND O-DELTA(B1950)LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO+90-DEGREES(20), Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 300(3), 1998, pp. 790-816
We present a catalogue of 540 compact radio sources in the declination
ranges +20 degrees less than or equal to delta(B1950) less than or eq
ual to +35 degrees and +75 degrees less than or equal to delta(B1950)
less than or equal to +90 degrees, the positions of which have been me
asured to an rms accuracy of about 55 rnas with the Very Large Array (
VLA). These sources are primarily intended for use as phase calibratio
n sources for MERLIN. However, they will also be suitable as phase cal
ibrators for the VLA and can be considered as candidate phase calibrat
ors for very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) networks.
