Up: A radio continuum

6. Conclusions

This work presents new catalogues of radio sources in the SMC at five radio frequencies: 1.42 GHz (86 sources), 2.45 GHz (107 sources), 4.75 GHz (99 sources), 4.85 GHz (187 sources) and 8.55 GHz (41 sources). There is a total of 224 radio sources, 60 of which are new. We have already identified some of these new sources at other wavelengths. Further analysis of the SMC discrete sources will appear in following papers, discussing the radio spectral indices and comparisons with X-ray, infrared and optical data.
