Description: 
 
The 9C survey of radio sources is being made with the Ryle Telescope at a 
frequency of 15.2 GHz and a resolution of 25 x 25 cosec(dec) arcsec^2. 
The regions surveyed correspond to the fields chosen for the CMB observations 
of the Very Small Array, rather than forming one large contiguous area. 
The catalogues currently available on ftp cover three circular areas: 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
Region      RA, Dec of centre (J2000)        Radius (deg)    No. of sources 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
0020+30    00h 17m 36.5s   30d 16m 39s          5.5               84 
0940+32    09h 40m 57.7s   31d 46m 21s          6.0              103  
1540+43    15h 36m 42.7s   43d 20m 11s          5.0               55        
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
These source lists are complete to ~25 mJy and at present no sources are  
included below that level. We estimate that the position accuracy is better  
than 10 arcsec and that the uncertainty in the flux densities is ~ 5%.
