Description:
    The ATESP survey is a radio survey accomplished with the Australia
    Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) at 1.4 GHz over a region of 26 square
    degrees centered at -40 and ranging in RA from 22h30m to 01h15m. The
    survey consists of 16 radio mosaics with 8x14 arcsec resolution and
    uniform sensitivity (1 sigma noise = 79 microJy). The final 6 sigmas
    catalogue contains 2960 sources down to a detection limit of 0.5 mJy.

    This region is superposed to the redshift survey ESO Slice Project
    (ESP) and is partly covered by the EIS survey (Patch A; see Cat.
    J/A+AS/130/323).

Note (1): The name is based on J2000 coordinates. Different components
     of multiple sources are labeled "A", "B", etc.
Note (2): Intrinsic = deconvolved from the beam.
     Zero values refer unresolved sources.
Note (3): Flags indicating fitting procedure and parametrization adopted:
       S: gaussian fitting
      S*: poor gaussian fitting
       E: non gaussian source
       M: multiple source
