VizieR Online Data Catalog: M82 radio sources flux density variations (Gendre+, 2013)

The 2009 monitoring campaign of M82 consisted of seven wide-field MERLIN (Thomasson 1986) observations at a frequency of 4.994GHz, observed between 2009 May and 2010 April. These were made using parallel hands of circular polarization, and were correlated with a total bandwidth of 16 MHz divided into 32 channels. Across all epochs combined a total on-source integration time of 286.5h was used. Each observing epoch was reduced and analysed individually and a deep exposure map was produced by combining all of these data. In addition to these, a single e-MERLIN observation was included in this study. This observation was made in 2010 December as part of the e-MERLIN commissioning programme and used a total bandwidth of 512MHz with a median frequency of 6.26GHz. These data were correlated into four individual sub-bands each divided into 512 frequency channels. These e-MERLIN observations were observed prior the installation of the new e-MERLIN wide-band IF system in spring 2011 and consequently only one hand of polarization was used and the data displayed reduced sensitivity in parts of the observing band.
