TLDR
The Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey ( SUMSS) as mentioned in this paper produces images with a resolution of 43'' × 43'' csc |δ| and an rms noise level of ~1 mJy beam-1.Abstract:
The Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope, operating at 843 MHz with a 5 deg2 field of view, is carrying out a radio imaging survey of the sky south of declination -30°. This survey (the Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey, or SUMSS) produces images with a resolution of 43'' × 43'' csc |δ| and an rms noise level of ~1 mJy beam-1. The SUMSS is therefore similar in sensitivity and resolution to the northern NRAO VLA Sky Survey. The survey is progressing at a rate of about 1000 deg2 per year, yielding individual and statistical data for many thousands of weak radio sources. This paper describes the main characteristics of the survey and presents sample images from the first year of observations.read more

The Coevolution of Galaxies and Supermassive Black Holes: Insights from Surveys of the Contemporary Universe
Timothy M. Heckman,Philip Best +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a picture in which the population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can be divided into two distinct populations: radiative-mode AGNs are associated with black holes that produce radiant energy powered by accretion at rates in excess of ∼ 1% of the Eddington limit.
