EFFELSBERG 1408/2695 MHz Radio continuum and Polarization

Radio continuum

These surveys of continuum radiation at 1408 MHz (21cm) and 2695 MHz (11cm) were made with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope, with an angular resolution of 9.4' (21cm) and 4.3' (11cm). Units of the Healpix maps are mKTB.

Both surveys cover the Galactic plane between :
- 358°<l<240° and -5°<b<+5° for the 11cm survey
- 357°<l<240° and -4°<b<+4° for the 21cm survey
In addition, the first section of the Effelsberg Medium latitude survey (EMLS) at 21cm covers four fields:
- an area of 10°x16° centered on l=50°, b=12°
- the Cygnus-X area
- the highly polarized region just above the Galactic plane between 140°<l<153°
- a field of 20°x11.2° centered on l=200°, b=9.4°
