Radio observations of the Einstein deep X-ray field in Pavo.
Abstract
The most sensitive X-ray survey available is a deep exposure made by the Einstein Observatory of a 40-arcmin field in Pavo. This survey revealed 33 X-ray sources, most of which were optically identified with quasars. This paper presents radio observations of the Pavo region at 843 MHz made with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope. Eight overlapping fields were combined to produce sensitive radio map of the region, revealing 33 radio sources above a flux density of 2.4 mJy. Only one of these radio sources corresponded to an X-ray object: a quasar at z = 1.13.
