VLA A2390 Cluster of Galaxies 1.4-GHz Source Catalog

This table contains the 1.4-GHz source catalog for the field of the cluster of galaxies A2390 as observed with the Very Large Array (VLA). This is one of the deepest radio images of a cluster field ever taken. The image covers an area of 34' x 34' with a synthesized beam of ~1.4" and a noise level of ~5.6 µJy (µJy) near the field center. In the reference paper, the authors construct differential number counts for the central regions (radius < 16') of this cluster, and find that the faint (S<sub>1.4GHz</sub> < 3 mJy) counts of A2390 are roughly consistent with the lowest blank field number counts. Their analyses indicate that the number counts are primarily from field radio galaxies. The authors suggest that the disagreement of their number counts for this cluster with those from a similarly deep observation of A370 that was also presented in the reference paper can be largely attributed to cosmic variance. The authors observed the A2390 cluster field with the VLA in the A configuration for ~31.4hr on-source during 2008 October. The field center is located at 21:53:36 +17:41:52 (J2000). This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2017 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/202/2/">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/202/2/</a> file table2.dat. This file contained 699 entries for sources detected at 1.4 GHz in the A370 field, as well as 524 entries for sources detected at 1.4 GHz in the A2390 field. Only the latter are included in this HEASARC table, while the former can be found in the HEASARC's <a href="vla3701p4.html">VLA3701P4</a> table. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
