Tables 2 to 6 are the catalogues of discrete radio sources found in the SMC
surveys
.
In these tables, we used the same format as for the paper on the LMC (Paper IV) i.e.
the source name (Col. 1) is derived from the standard IAU system of source
nomenclature (Dickel et al. 1987; Lortet et al. 1994),
namely - SMC Bhhmm-ddmm (e.g., SMC B0054-7254). The letter ``B" in Col. 1 indicates
that the source positions (Cols. 2 and 3) are for equinox and equator B1950. For
easier cross-checking we have adopted the reference source name based on the position
at the highest frequency, since that position will be the most accurate. In Col. 4 the
symbol (e) is used to flag sources that are significantly extended. The definition of
extension is discussed below in Sect. 4.2. The integrated flux densities are listed in
Col. 5.
Table 7 gives the cross-references for all sources in Tables 2
to 6. Column 3 (Other Names and Comments) uses the following
abbreviations: 
The basket-weaving analysis, gridding and scanning process used during the observations
slightly broadens the full width half maximum (FWHM) beam size. We have determined
the effective beam size from the distribution of the fitted widths after excluding
the tail of very extended sources. We excluded sources greater than 5 times the median
size and then recalculated the median until the process converged. The definition
adopted here for a significantly extended source is that the fitted size (solid angle)
of the source is twice that of the effective beam size. The true angular size of
the sources is the observed size deconvolved with the effective beam size. Adopting
this definition, between 5% and 20% (depending on the observing frequency) of all
our sources in the SMC field are extended. For details about nominal beam size,
effective beam size, uncertainty in the effective beam size and the number of
extended sources, see Table 8 (click here).
