ISO ELAIS 20cm VLA survey regions

As usual in surveys based on a relatively small number of overlapping VLA pointings, the flux limit varies over the area surveyed: from a 5{sigma} limit of 0.135mJy over an area of 0.12deg^2^ to 1.15mJy or better over the whole region covered of 4.22deg^2^.

In this paper we present the complete radio catalogue of 867 sources, 428 of which form a complete sample in the flux range 0.2-1.0mJy. These regions of the sky have previously been surveyed to shallower flux limits at 20cm with the VLA as part of the VLA D configuration NVSS (full width at half-maximum, FWHM=45arcsec) and VLA B configuration FIRST (FWHM=5arcsec) surveys. Our whole survey has a nominal 5{sigma} flux limit a factor of 2 below that of the NVSS; 3.4deg^2^ of the survey reaches the nominal flux limit of the FIRST survey and 1.5deg^2^ reaches 0.25mJy, a factor of 4 below the nominal FIRST survey limit.
