cds-question@unistra.frquasarsradio-sourcesgalaxiescatalogsWe present a new sample of quarter-Jansky flat-spectrum radio sources selected to search for high-redshift quasars and to study the evolution of the flat-spectrum quasar population. The sample comprises 878 radio sources selected from the Parkes catalogues with spectral indices {alpha}^5GHz^_2.7GHz_>=-0.4 where S_{nu}{prop.to}{nu}^{alpha}. The sample covers all right ascensions and the declination range from -80.0{deg} to +2.5{deg}, excluding low galactic latitudes (|b|<10{deg}) and the Magellanic Cloud regions. We have obtained improved radio source positions, firstly to reconfirm the majority of the existing identifications, and secondly, using digitized sky-survey data and deep B, Gunn-i and Gunn-z CCD-imaging, to find optical identifications for 223 previously-unidentified sources. We present the final catalogue of 878 flat-spectrum sources: 827 are compact radio sources identified with galaxies, quasars and BL Lac objects, 38 have either extended radio structure or are identified with Galactic objects (PN, HII or non-compact radio source), 4 are obscured by Galactic stars, and 9 (1 per cent of the total sample) remain unidentified.2002A&A...386...97Jhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/386/97CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toVIII/15 : Parkes Radio
