Sixth Cambridge Survey of Radio Sources
The 6C Survey of Radio Sources (6C) is an astronomical catalogue of celestial radio sources as measured at 151-MHz.[1][2] It was published between 1985 and 1993 by the Radio Astronomy Group of the University of Cambridge.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
| Alternative names | 6C |
|---|---|
| Survey type | astronomical survey  |
| Organization | Cavendish Astrophysics Group |
| Observations | Cambridge Low Frequency Synthesis Telescope |
| Frequency | 151 megahertz |
The research that led to the catalogue's production also led to improvements in radio telescope design and, in due course, to the 7C survey of radio sources.[1]
A similar survey of the Southern Hemisphere was made by the Mauritius Radio Telescope.[10][11]
