Description
The third MIT-Green Bank survey, which covers 1.11 sr in the right ascension range from 16.5 h to 5 h between +17 deg and +39.15 deg declination, is presented. The survey is unique in that a sample was observed twice in a short period of time and the spectral indices between 5 and 1.4 GHz are available for most of the sources brighter than 90 mJy. This survey can be used as the starting point for a search for gravitational lenses. The source list can also be examined for clustering and used to estimate the surface density of sources as a function of limiting flux density. 10 refs
