ATESP 5 GHz radio survey. I.

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The nature and evolutionary properties of the faint radio population, responsible for the steepening observed in the 1.4GHz source counts below 1mJy, are not yet entirely clear.

Description

Radio spectral indices may help to constrain the origin of the radio emission in such faint radio sources and may be fundamental in understanding eventual links to the optical light. We study the spectral index behaviour of sources that were found in the 1.4GHz ATESP survey (Prandoni et al., 2000A&AS..146...31P & 2000, Cat. <VIII/63>), considering that the ATESP is one of the most extensive sub-mJy surveys existing at present.

Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array we observed at 5GHz part of the region covered by the sub-mJy ATESP survey. In particular we imaged a one square degree area for which deep optical imaging in UBVRIJK is available. In this paper we present the 5GHz survey and source catalogue, we derive the 5GHz source counts and we discuss the 1.4-5GHz spectral index properties of the ATESP sources.
