Flux Scale for the AT Compact Array

J. Reynolds - July 1994

\fbox{\large\itshape AT/39.3/040}

Abstract:

A revised set of flux density estimates is presented for the radio source 1934-638, over the frequency range 1.4GHz to 8.6GHz. The main purpose of this revision is to bring the ATCA flux density scale into better agreement with the scales used at Northern hemisphere observatories, the VLA in particular. The revised scale defined here is believed to be consistent with current Northern scales at the 1$\sim$2% level over the range 1-10GHz. It is recommended that the revised scale be implemented as the default option in all ATCA observing and reduction software, as it represents a significant correction to the scale currently in use.
