Abstract

The Green Bank 4.85GHz (lambda~6cm) survey was made with the NRAO seven-beam receiver on the (former) 91m telescope during 1986 November and 1987 October. The final set of sky maps covering the declination band 0deg<Dec.<+75deg was constructed with data from both epochs. Its noise and position errors are nearly a factor of 2^(1/2)^ smaller than in the epoch 1987 maps, from which the 87GB catalog <VIII/14> of 54,579 sources stronger than S~25mJy was extracted. Therefore, we used the new maps to make the GB6 catalog of 75,162 discrete sources with angular sizes phi<=10.5arcmin and flux densities S>=18mJy. This catalog is available in machine-readable versions with either B1950 or J2000 positions and as a printed book with B1950 positions. The GB6 weighted differential source counts S^(5/2)n(S) between 18 mJy and 7Jy agree well with evolutionary models based on independent data.
