Description
A catalog of 425 radio sources detected in a 10 square-degree region of the Bootes constellation. The data was produced by the Allen Telescope Array's Pi GHz Sky Survey (PiGSS) project, based on 75 daily observations over a 4-month period. This table, created by NASA's HEASARC in 2011, provides flux densities, source sizes, and spectral indices for the detected sources.
Use Cases
Identifying and characterizing flat-spectrum radio sources based on provided spectral indices.
Analyzing source variability on timescales of days to months based on the survey's synoptic observation design.
Searching for transient radio sources using flux density measurements over time.
Studying the statistical properties of faint radio sources in a deep, targeted field.
Strengths
Provides flux densities, source sizes, and spectral indices for 425 detected radio sources.
Image constructed from 75 daily observations, achieving an rms flux density between 200 and 250 microjanskys.
Identifies approximately 100 new flat-spectrum radio sources within the observed field.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
