Spectra of 388 bright 74MHz sources

DOI

As a service to the community, we have compiled radio frequency spectra from the literature for all sources within the VLA Low Frequency Sky Survey (VLSS) that are brighter than 15Jy at 74MHz. Over 160 references were used to maximize the amount of spectral data used in the compilation of the spectra, while also taking care to determine the corrections needed to put the flux densities from all reference on the same absolute flux density scale. With the new VLSS data, we are able to vastly improve on previous efforts to compile spectra of bright radio sources to frequencies below 100MHz because (1) the VLSS flux densities are more reliable than those from some previous low-frequency surveys and (2) the VLSS covers a much larger area of the sky ({delta}>-30{deg}) than many other low-frequency surveys (e.g., the 8C survey).
