AMI Galactic Plane Survey at 16 GHz: II -- Full data release with extended coverage and improved processing

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2015-08-05 v1

Abstract

The Arcminute Microkelvin Imager Galactic Plane Survey (AMIGPS) provides mJy-sensitivity, arcminute-resolution interferometric images of the northern Galactic plane at \approx 16 GHz. The first data release covered 7617076^{\circ} \lessapprox \ell \lessapprox 170^{\circ} between latitudes of b5|b| \lessapprox 5^{\circ}; here we present a second data release, extending the coverage to 5319353^{\circ} \lessapprox \ell \lessapprox 193^{\circ} and including high-latitude extensions to cover the Taurus and California giant molecular cloud regions, and the recently discovered large supernova remnant G159.6+7.3. The total coverage is now 1777 deg2^2 and the catalogue contains 6509 sources. We also describe the improvements to the data processing pipeline which improves the positional and flux density accuracies of the survey.
