Extract

One of the basic tasks of the one-mile cross at the Molonglo Radio Observatory is the compilation of a catalogue of radio sources complete to a low flux density level. This level has been tentatively chosen as 0.2 f.u., which is well above the ultimate detection level which can be reached in selected areas of sky. Such a limitation is necessary if the catalogue is to be restricted to a manageable number of sources; a few tens of thousands, which will be achieved with the above limit, seems appropriate and useful at the present time.
