1.4GHz NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS)
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) is a radio continuum survey covering the sky north of -40{deg} declination at 1.4GHz.
Description
The principal data products of the NVSS are a set of 2326 4x4{deg} continuum "cubes" with three planes containing Stokes I, Q, and U images, plus a catalog of almost 2 million discrete sources stronger than a flux density of about 2.5mJy. The images all have 45 arcsecond FWHM angular resolution and nearly uniform sensitivity.
Their rms brightness fluctuations are approximately 0.45mJy/beam=0.14K (Stokes I) and 0.29mJy/beam=0.09K (Stokes Q and U). The rms uncertainties in right ascension and declination vary from <= ~1arcsecond for the 400,000 sources stronger than 15mJy to 7arcseconds at the survey limit. A more detailed description is provided in the printed paper and at the NVSS website at cv.nrao.edu/nvss/ where all data products, user software, and updates were released as soon as they were produced and verified.
