New 6 and 3-cm radio-continuum maps of the Small Magellanic Cloud: Part II - Point source catalogue

TL;DR

This paper provides new high-resolution radio-continuum maps of the Small Magellanic Cloud at 6 and 3 cm, cataloging 601 and 457 sources respectively, enhancing the understanding of its radio source population.

Contribution

It introduces two new comprehensive radio source catalogues for the SMC at 6 and 3 cm, based on high-sensitivity, high-resolution observations.

Findings

Catalogued 601 sources at 6 cm

Catalogued 457 sources at 3 cm

Improved resolution and sensitivity of SMC radio maps

Abstract

We present two new catalogues of radio-continuum sources in the field of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). These catalogues contain sources found at 4800 MHz (lambda=6 cm) and 8640 MHz (lambda=3 cm). Some 457 sources have been detected at 3 cm with 601 sources at 6 cm created from new high-sensitivity and resolution radio-continuum images of the SMC from Crawford et al. (2011).
