The Parkes 2700 MHz Survey: A Resurvey of the ± 4° Declination Zone

Abstract

The + 4° declination zone of the Parkes 2700 MHz survey has been resurveyed with the Parkes 64 m telescope. The catalogue of 822 sources is complete to a limiting flux density of 0·25 Jy (= 0·25x 10- 26 Wm-2 Hz- 1), substantially lower than the original (1971) survey. All but one of the sources have flux density measurements at 5000 MHz. Appreciable changes in flux density have been found for 20% of the sources in the original survey and 59 new optical identifications ha ve been made.
