The Second MIT--Green Bank 5 GHz Survey
Abstract
The MHT-Green Bank II (MG II) 5-GHz survey covers 1.51 sr of sky in the right ascension range 4-21 h between +17 and +39.15 deg declination (J2000.0). The final MG II catalog contains 6182 sources detected with a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 5. The MG II flux density limit is 41 mJy. The catalog was produced from two separate north and south surveys with the NRAO 91-m transit telescope. Spectral indices are computed for sources identified in the NRAO 1400-MHz Survey (Condon and Broderick, 1985). A comparison of the spectral-index distributions for sources above and below 10 deg Galactic latitude is presented.
