An All-sky Catalogue of Strong Radio Sources at 408 MHz

Abstract

A catalogue of 160 extragalactic radio sources stronger than 10 f.u. at 408 MHz has been compiled by selecting sources from the Parkes and 3CR surveys but adopting the most accurate values of flux density that are available. The sky coverage of 10·1 sr omits only the galactic plane and Magellanic Cloud regions. The flux density scale due to Wyllie has been used throughout.
