Parkes Catalogue of Radio Sources explained

The Parkes Catalogue of Radio Sources, also known as the Parkes Southern Radio Source Catalog, consists of 8264 astronomical radio sources, mostly south of declination +27. The catalogue was mostly compiled by John Bolton and his colleagues for 20 years. Both the Molonglo 408-MHz survey and the 80-MHz Culgoora measurements of Slee et al have contributed to the usefulness of the catalogue. For now, the catalogue only contains sources originally found in the Parkes 2700-MHz survey. The catalogue contains radio sources that have a frequency range of 80 - 22,000 MHz.^{[1] [2]}
