VIII/33 Spectral characteristics of RATAN (RC) Catalog (Bursov+ 1989) ================================================================================ A study of spectral characteristics of the RC-Catalog and preliminary optical identifications. Bursov N.N., Gol'neva N.E., Lipovka N.M., Soboleva N.S., Temirova A.V. =1989SoSAO..63...50B ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Radio sources Description: The spectral analysis of the RC-catalog of the experiment "Cold" containing 840 radiosources in the interval of right ascension 4-22h are made. 280 spectra of radiosources are presented; 215 spectra are new. The mean spectral index for 196 objects with steep spectra (alpha >= 0 5) and flux densities >12mJy is 0.87+/-0.01. The preliminary optical identification of radiosources with catalogued galaxies is done.
