VizieR Online Data Catalog: ASKAP EMU ESP, Radio Continuum Survey of the SMC (Joseph+ 2019)

We present two new catalogues from the ASKAP ESP surveys for different types of radio continuum sources towards the SMC. These catalogues were obtained from images taken at 960MHz (λ=32cm) and 1320MHz (λ=23cm). For the point source catalogue, we combine the ASKAP data with the previously published MOST catalogue (Turtle et al. 1998PASA...15..280T; Wong et al. 2011SerAJ.183..103W, Cat. J/other/Ser/183.103) and the ATCA = 20, 13, 6 and 3cm catalogues (Wong et al. 2011SerAJ.183..103W, Cat. J/other/Ser/183.103, 2012SerAJ.184...93W, J/other/Ser/184.93, and references therein).

Table2 and table3 contain the ID number of the sources and their coordinates (J2000) detected with the Australia SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope at 960MHz and 1320MHz in 2017, September and November respectively. Sources are associated with background AGN, PNe and other point sources within the SMC. The number of detected sources is 4489 (960MHz) and 5954 (1320MHz).
