New Galactic soures in the BG catalogue: search at 1.4 GHz with Westerbork synthesis radio telescope

C.Fanti, F. Mantovani and P.Tomasi

Summary

We presente the result of a seach for new Galactic sources from the BG catalogue. The observations were made with the WSRT at 1.4 GHz, using the short cuts technique. The adopted selection criteria for the observed sample are discussed in detail. For reducing the data we have adopted the Clean and Restore technique. We have also tested the capability of this technique in reproducing the total flux density for very extended structures. A catalogue of the sources present in each field was produced; the relevant information about observations and reduction characteristics are given. Contour maps corrected for the primary beam attenuation are shown, when of interest. The expected number of Galactic sources present in the observed sample was confirmed.
