VLA source counts at 6-cm wavelength

Description
Thirteen widely separated fields at high galactic latitude have been mapped with the Very Large Array at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at 6 cm. The fields were 12.8 arc min square and the 5 σ noise levels extended below 1 mJy. The resulting differential source counts were δN/δN0 (0.5 mJy<S<3.0 mJy) = 0.0384 and δ/δN0 (3.0 mJy<S<10.0 mJy) = 0.178. These results confirm the deviation at low flux levels from the uniform N = 60 Ssup(-1.5) Ω distribution. (U.K.)
