FLUX DENSITIES AT 8400 MHZ FOR A LARGE SAMPLE OF RADIO-SOURCES

We present 8400-MHz flux densities for 1194 southern radio sources. The sources were selected from the Parkes 2700-MHz Survey to include all those stronger than 0.5 Jy at that survey's finding frequency of 2700 MHz. The new fluxes have an accuracy of about 8 per cent, corresponding to 0.05 Jy for a typical source. It is anticipated that the data will be useful in defining the high-frequency radio spectra of many sources as well as in pinpointing objects with which to improve the southern, astrometric absolute reference frame.
