Note : this is the description file of the original catalog. This HTML page corresponds well to the original description, but some minor changes in the format may have been introduced in the FITS output files in order to allow for arithmetic operations on quantities such as coordinates and times. h:m:s and d:m:s units are normally converted into degrees, and YYYY-MM-DD into julian days.
Similarly, some slight changes may have been introduced in the units; the value given in the HTML files supersedes the value indicated in the ReadMe file for this catalogue.

    Abstract:
        Results form a survey of the northern Galactic plane (at
        declination >=30° at 151MHz made with the Cambridge Low Frequency
        Synthesis Telescope are presented. This survey is designated 7C(G) -
        i.e. the Galactic portion of the ongoing 7C surveys. This covers the
        regions 80°<l<104° and 126°<l<180°, for |b|<=5.5°,
        and has some coverage to |b|~9°, with a resolution of
        ~70x70cosec{delta}arcsec2 (RAxDec). The observations, data reduction
        and calibration of this survey are described, and a catalogue of 6262
        compact sources, with a completeness limit of ~0.25Jy over most of the
        survey region, is presented. The catalogue has an rms positional
        accuracy of better than 10arcsec, and the flux densities are tied to
        the scale of Roger, Bridle & Costain (1973AJ.....78.1030R) with an
        accuracy of better than 10 per cent.

    Note (1): The rms accuracies are 5arcsec in RA and 7arcsec in DE

    Note (2): Multiple peaks integrated together have the same centroid position

    Note (3): Thew beam-fitted value is the preferred flux density unless
              the source is clearly extended, in which case the integrated
              flux density should be used.
