ELAIS N2地区的43 GHz测量

A 43-GHz Survey in the ELAIS N2 Area

Jasper Wall, Rick Perley, Robert Laing, Sean Stotyn, Angela Taylor, Joe Silk

摘要:

我们描述了在ELAIS N2区域的VLA在43.4 GHz的调查,进行了1627个独立的快照观测D-配置,覆盖约0.5平方度。探测到一个特定的源,一个先前编目的z=2.2的平谱类星体。一些(<5)其他源可能存在于大约3 sigma水平,这是根据与蓝色恒星物体或低频勘测源重合的类源偏转位置确定的。独立地,我们展示了如何在数据中识别的所有源样检测可以使用最大似然技术来约束43 GHz的源计数在~7毫焦耳的水平。以前的估计,在43 GHz的计数,较低的频率计数和光谱测量的基础上,与这些限制是一致的,虽然目前的结果是暗示在7毫焦耳水平的表面密度有点高。他们没有提供入侵的直接证据,以前未知的源人口,虽然几个候选来源需要检查之前,这样的人口可以被排除。

英文摘要:

We describe a survey in the ELAIS N2 region with the VLA at 43.4 GHz, carried out with 1627 independent snapshot observations in D-configuration and covering about 0.5 square degrees. One certain source is detected, a previously-catalogued flat-spectrum QSO at z=2.2. A few (<5) other sources may be present at about the 3sigma level, as determined from positions of source-like deflections coinciding with blue stellar objects, or with sources from lower-frequency surveys. Independently we show how all the source-like detections identified in the data can be used with a maximum-likelihood technique to constrain the 43-GHz source counts at a level of ~7 mJy. Previous estimates of the counts at 43 GHz, based on lower-frequency counts and spectral measurements, are consistent with these constraints, although the present results are suggestive of somewhat higher surface densities at the 7 mJy level. They do not provide direct evidence of intrusion of a previously unknown source population, although the several candidate sources need examination before such a population can be ruled out.
