Small Magellanic Cloud ATCA and Parkes 1400-MHz Source Catalog

This table contains a new catalog of radio-continuum sources in the field of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). This catalog contains 1560 radio-continuum sources detected at 1400 MHz (lambda = 20 cm) from a set of new high-resolution radio-continuum mosaic images of the SMC created by combining observations from ATCA and Parkes (Wong et al. 2011, SerAJ, 182, 43). The 20 cm mosaic image (Fig. 2 in above reference)was created by combining data from ATCA project C1288 (Mao et al. 2008, ApJ, 688, 1029) with data obtained for a Parkes radio-continuum study of the SMC (Filipovic et al. 1997, A&AS, 121, 321). This image had a beam size of 17.8 x 12.2 arcseconds and an rms noise of 0.7 mJy/beam. The MIRIAD task 'imsad' was used to detect sources in the 20-cm image, requiring a fitted Gaussian flux density > 5 sigma (3.5 mJy). All sources were then visually examined to confirm that they were genuine point sources, excluding extended emission, bright side lobes, etc. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2014 based on CDS Catalog J_other/Ser/183.103/ file tablea2.dat.
