Abstract:
We present a new sample of Parkes half-Jansky flat-spectrum radio
sources having made a particular effort to find any previously
unidentified sources. The sample contains 323 sources selected
according to a flux limit of 0.5 Jy at 2.7 GHz, a spectral index
measured between 2.7 and 5.0 GHz of alpha(2.7/5.0) > -0.5, where
S(f) is proportional to f^alpha^, Galactic latitude |b| > 20deg and
-45deg < Declination(B1950) < +10deg. The sample was selected
from a region 3.90 steradians in area.
We have obtained accurate radio positions for all the unresolved
sources in this sample and combined these with accurate optical
positions from digitised photographic sky survey data to check all the
optical identifications. We report new identifications based on R- and
Kn-band imaging and new spectroscopic measurements of many of the
sources. We present a catalogue of the 323 sources of which 321 now
have identified optical counterparts and 277 have measured spectral
redshifts.
