ATHDFS: 1.4-GHz Radio Source Catalog for Hubble Deep Field-South

466 radio sources cataloged to a 5-sigma sensitivity from the Australia Telescope Hubble Deep Field-South survey. The catalog results from observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array conducted from 1998 to 2001. NASA HEASARC created this table in November 2012 based on the published source catalog.

Use Cases

• Analyze radio source counts and luminosity functions based on the 1.4-GHz catalog.
• Cross-match radio sources with optical counterparts in the Hubble Deep Field-South based on the provided celestial coordinates.
• Study the reliability of source extraction techniques in non-uniform noise conditions based on the method described.
• Investigate the properties of faint radio sources down to 11 micro-Jansky sensitivity.

Strengths

• Catalog contains 466 identified sources.
• Observations span 4 years (1998-2001), providing temporal depth.
• Uses a source extraction technique designed to exclude spurious sources and account for non-uniform noise.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
