The Arecibo 2380 MHz survey of bright galaxies.
Abstract
A 2380-MHz survey of bright galaxies in the declination range from zero to +37 deg has been made at Arecibo. It is complete to a photographic magnitude of +14.5 in all right ascensions except between 11 h 30 m and 13 h 00 m, where the limit is +14.0. Four hundred fifty-six of the 2095 galaxies observed were detected above 15 mJy, a cutoff which is the quadratic sum of 5 times the 2-mJy rms confusion and 3 times the 3-mJy receiver noise on a single scan.
