Year: 1997
Type: article
Abstract: The Westerbork Northern Sky Survey (WENSS) is a low-frequency radio survey that will cover the whole sky north of at a wavelength of 92 cm to a limiting flux density of approximately 18 mJy (). This survey has a resolution of and a positional accuracy for strong sources of . Here we present a source list comprising 11 299 sources and maps of 120 extended sources for a 570 square degree region around the north ecliptic pole, the so-called mini-survey. We discuss the errors and reliability of the source parameters and the completeness of the survey.
