The deepest look of the WSRT

Submitter: Raffaella Morganti
Description: Today's Daily Image represents one of the posters submitted to the Astronomy Pretty Poster Pageant 2014 (see 1-Aug-2014, 12-Sep-2014, 15-Sep-2014, 30-Sep-2014 and 17-Oct-2014). It shows the image obtained with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) of an area of 1 degree^2, centred on the First Look Verification Strip of the Spitzer satellite (FLS). The WSRT image has a noise level of 8.5 uJy/beam and is the deepest WSRT image made to date. Over a thousand sources are detected in this image.

The results from these observations were presented in Morganti, Garrett, et al. 2004, A&A, 424, 371 (ArXiv:0405418) while follow up with VLBA and submillimeter SCUBA were presented by Wrobel et al. (including Mike Garrett and Raffaella Morganti) 2004, AJ, 128, 103 (ArXiv:0404007) and Frayer et al. (again including Mike Garrett and Raffaella Morganti) 2004, ApJS, 154, 137 (ArXiv:0406351) respectively.
