The Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey. II.

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present a catalog of 8358 sources extracted from images produced by the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS).

Description

The BGPS is a survey of the millimeter dust continuum emission from the northern Galactic plane. The catalog sources are extracted using a custom algorithm, Bolocat, which was designed specifically to identify and characterize objects in the large-area maps generated from the Bolocam instrument.

The catalog products are designed to facilitate follow-up observations of these relatively unstudied objects. The catalog is 98% complete from 0.4Jy to 60Jy over all object sizes for which the survey is sensitive (<3.5'). We find that the sources extracted can best be described as molecular clumps-large dense regions in molecular clouds linked to cluster formation.

We find that the flux density distribution of sources follows a power law with dN/dS{prop.to}S^-2.4+/-0.1^ and that the mean Galactic latitude for sources is significantly below the midplane: <b>=(-0.095+/-0.001{deg}).
