We develop an absolute flux density scale for cm-wavelength astronomy by combining accurate flux density ratios determined by the VLA between the planet Mars and a set of potential calibrators with the Rudy thermophysical emission model of…

The Planck mission detected thousands of extragalactic radio sources at frequencies from 28 to 857 GHz. Planck's calibration is absolute (in the sense that it is based on the satellite's annual motion around the Sun and the temperature of…

We present total flux densities of 1049 radio sources in the frequency range from 151 MHz to 10.6 GHz. These sources belong to the B3-VLA sample, which is complete down to 100 mJy at 408 MHz. The data constitute a homogeneous spectral…

Small angular scale (high l) studies of cosmic microwave background anisotropies require accurate knowledge of the statistical properties of extragalactic sources at cm-mm wavelengths. We have used a 30 GHz dual-beam receiver (OCRA-p) on…

We use the recent releases of sensitive VLA/LOFAR large-area surveys at 340 MHz and 54 MHz, in conjunction with the 1.4 GHz NVSS, to accurately determine the `spectral index - flux density relation' ($\alpha$ - S) for extragalactic radio…

We report multiple epoch VLA/JVLA observations of 89 northern hemisphere sources, most with 37\,GHz flux density > 1 Jy, observed at 4.8, 8.5, 33.5, and 43.3 GHz. The high frequency selection leads to a predominantly flat spectrum sample,…

In an earlier paper (2007), we used follow-up observations of a sample of sources from the 9C survey at 15.2 GHz to derive a set of spectral-index distributions up to a frequency of 90 GHz. These were based on simultaneous measurements made…

We present the results of the flux density measurements at 4.85 GHz and 10.45 GHz of a sample of 5998 NVSS radio sources with the Effelsberg 100 m telescope. The initial motivation was the need to identify the NVSS radio sources that could…
