Abstract
The Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS) is a deep radio 
survey at 843 MHz of the entire sky south of declination -30°;, made using 
the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (<a href="https://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/astrop/most/"> MOST </a>), located near Canberra, Australia.   
The images from the SUMSS are produced as 4 x 4 degree mosaics of up to 
seventeen individual observations, to ensure even sensitivity across
the sky. The mosaics slightly overlap each other.  Data were last updated on January 28, 2015.
<p>
Images can also be obtained from the <a href="https://www.astrop.physics.usyd.edu.au/cgi-bin/postage.pl">SUMSS Postage Stamp Server</a>.
<p>
The SUMSS is intended to complement the NRAO-VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) which 
covered the sky between +90 and -40 deg declination, at a
frequency of 1400MHz.
