Abstract
      The Australia Telescope 20-GHz (AT20G) Survey is a blind survey of the whole southern sky at 20 GHz (with follow-up observations at 4.8 and 8.6 GHz) carried out with the Australia Telescope Compact Array from 2004 to 2007. The Bright Source Sample (BSS) is a complete flux-limited sub-sample of the AT20G Survey catalog comprising 320 extragalactic (|b| > 1.5 degrees) radio sources south of declination -15 degrees with 20-GHz flux densities S<sub>20GHz</sub> > 0.50 Jy (500 mJy). Of these sources, 218 have near simultaneous observations at 8 and 5 GHz. In the reference paper, the authors present an analysis of the radio spectral properties in total intensity and polarization, size, optical identifications and redshift distribution of the BSS sources. Optical identifications provided an estimation of redshift for 186 sources with median values of 1.20 and 0.13 for QSOs and galaxies, respectively. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2008 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/384/775">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/384/775</a> files table2.dat and table3.dat.
