The All-Sky 408 MHz Survey

The 408 MHz All-sky Survey has been made from four radio continuum surveys observed between 1965 and 1978, using the Jodrell Bank MKI telescope, the Effelsberg 100 metre telescope and the Parkes 64 metre telescope. A detailed description of the survey data reduction and calibration methods, with preliminary astronomical results will soon be published and a second paper will give an atlas of maps at the full survey resolution of 51′ arc between half power points.
