Abstract

A 2380-MHz survey of bright galaxies in the declination range from zero
to +37 deg has been made at Arecibo. It is complete to a photographic
magnitude of +14.5 in all right ascensions except between 11 h 30 m
and 13 h 00 m, where the limit is +14.0. Four hundred fifty-six of the
2095 galaxies observed were detected above 15 mJy, a cutoff which is the
quadratic sum of 5 times the 2-mJy rms confusion and 3 times the 3-mJy
receiver noise on a single scan.
