New Optical Identifications from the Parkes 2700 MHz Resurvey of the ± 4° Declination Zone

Abstract

Identifications are suggested for 59 radio sources from the resurvey of declination zone ±4°, 27 with galaxies and 32 with stellar objects; 19 of the latter are confirmed as quasi-stellar objects (QSOs). The identifications were made from the Palomar Sky Survey prints plus supplementary plates taken with the Palomar and U.K. Schmidt telescopes and the Anglo-Australian 3·9 m telescope.
