Observations of flat-spectrum radio sources at lambda 850 mu m from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope - I. 1997 April to 2000 April

Calibrated data for 65 flat-spectrum extragalactic radio sources are presen ted at a wavelength of 850 mum, covering a three-year period from 1997 Apri l. The data, obtained from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope using the SCUB A camera in pointing mode, were analysed using an automated pipeline proces s based on the Observatory Reduction and Acquisition Control-Data Reduction (ORAC-DR) system. This paper describes the techniques used to analyse and calibrate the data, and presents the data base of results along with a repr esentative sample of the better-sampled light curves.
