WSRT Observations of the Hubble Deep Field and Flanking Fields
(Garrett, de Bruyn, Giroletti, Baan, Schilizzi 2000)

The WSRT images shown below are centred on the Hubble Deep Field. These image were made from 6 x 12 hour runs using the new MFFEs at 1380 MHz. The rms noise limit is ~ 7.5 microJy/beam at the edge of the field (rising to around 9 microJy in the centre of the field due to confusion). The resolution is ca. 15 arcseconds.
