Westerbork Northern Sky Survey

The Westerbork Northern Sky Survey (WENSS) is a low-frequency radio survey that covers the whole sky north of delta=30 degree at a wavelength of 92 cm to a limiting flux density of approximately 18 mJy (5 sigma). This survey has a resolution of 54" x 54" cosec (delta) and a positional accuracy for strong sources of 1.5''.

Further information on the survey including links to catalogs derived from the survey is available at the WENSS website.

The WENSS survey is included on the SkyView High Resolution Radio Coverage map. This map shows coverage on an Aitoff projection of the sky in equatorial coordinates. Provenance: WENSS Team. Data downloaded from 

WENSS FTP site 1999-03-18.
The WENSS project is a collaboration between the 
Netherlands Foundation for Research in
Astronomy (NFRA/ASTRON) and the 
Leiden Observatory.. This is a service of NASA HEASARC.
