Catalog

 

The full 3-sigma source catalog at 1.4 and 2.0 mm from Vieira et al. (2009) is here .

The columns descriptions from Vieira et al. 2009 (with some minor changes for the non-latex version) are repeated here for reference:

  1. Source ID: the IAU designation for the SPT-detected source.
  2. RA: right ascension (J2000) in degrees.
  3. DEC: declination (J2000) in degrees.
  4. S/N (2.0 mm): detection significance (signal-to-noise ratio) in the 2.0 mm band.
  5. Sraw (2.0 mm): raw flux (uncorrected for flux boosting) in the 2.0 mm band.
  6. Sbest (2.0 mm): median value of de-boosted flux at 2.0 mm.
  7. dSup (2.0 mm): upper error bar (1-sigma normal equivalent) of de-boosted flux at 2.0 mm.
  8. dSdown (2.0 mm): lower error bar (1-sigma normal equivalent) of de-boosted flux at 2.0 mm.
  9. S/N (1.4 mm): detection significance (signal-to-noise ratio) in the 1.4 mm band.
  10. Sraw (1.4 mm): raw flux (uncorrected for flux boosting) in the 1.4 mm band.
  11. Sbest (1.4 mm): median value of de-boosted flux at 1.4 mm.
  12. dSup (1.4 mm): upper error bar (1-sigma normal equivalent) of de-boosted flux at 1.4 mm.
  13. dSdown (1.4 mm): lower error bar (1-sigma normal equivalent) of de-boosted flux at 1.4 mm.
  14. alpharaw: estimate (from the raw flux in each band) of the 2.0 mm-1.4 mm spectral index alpha
  15. alphabest: median value of spectral index.
  16. d_alphaup: upper error bar (1-sigma normal equivalent) of spectral index.
  17. d_alphadown (2.0 mm): lower error bar (1-sigma normal equivalent) of spectral index.
  18. P(alpha > 1.66): fraction of the spectral index posterior probability distribution above the threshold value of 1.66. A higher value of P means the source is more likely to be dust-dominated.
  19. Type: source classification (synchrotron- or dust-dominated).
  20. Nearest SUMSS source: angular distance (in arseconds) from the nearest source in the 36 cm (843 MHz) Sydney University Molongolo Sky Survey.
  21. Nearest RASS source: angular distance (in arseconds) from the nearest source in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) Bright Source Catalog or Faint Source Catalog.
  22. Nearest IRAS source: angular distance (in arseconds) from the nearest source in the IRAS Faint-Source Catalog.
