We present the first full release of a survey of the 150 MHz radio sky, observed with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope between April 2010 and March 2012 as part of the TGSS project. Aimed at producing a reliable compact source survey, our automated data reduction pipeline efficiently processed more than 2000 hours of observations with minimal human interaction. Through application of innovative techniques such as image-based flagging, direction-dependent calibration of ionospheric phase errors, correcting for systematic offsets in antenna pointing, and improving the primary beam model, we created good quality images for over 95 percent of the 5336 pointings. Our data release covers 36,900 square degrees (or 3.6 pi steradians) of the sky between -53 deg and +90 deg DEC, which is 90 percent of the total sky. The majority of pointing images have a background RMS noise below 5 mJy/beam with an approximate resolution of 25 x 25 (or 25 x 25 / cos (DEC - 19 deg) for pointings south of 19 deg DEC). We have produced a catalog of 0.62 Million radio sources derived from an initial, high reliability source extraction at the 7 sigma level. For the bulk of the survey, the measured overall astrometric accuracy is better than 2 in RA and DEC, while the flux density accuracy is estimated at ~10 percent. Within the scope of the TGSS ADR project, the source catalog as well as 5336 mosaic images (5 deg x 5 deg) and an image cutout service, are made publicly available online as a service to the astronomical community. Next to enabling a wide range of different scientific investigations, we anticipate that these survey products provide a solid reference for various new low-frequency radio aperture array telescopes (LOFAR, LWA, MWA, SKA-low), and can play an important role in characterizing the EoR foreground. The TGSS ADR project aims at continuously improving the quality of the survey data products.
This Rescaled Subset of the Alternative Data Release 1 to the Tata Institute of Fundamental Physics Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope Sky Survey (TGSS-RSADR1) modifies the initial data release of TGSS-ADR1 (Intema et al. 2017) to bring that catalogue t
The Dark Sky Simulations are an ongoing series of cosmological N-body simulations designed to provide a quantitative and accessible model of the evolution of the large-scale Universe. Such models are essential for many aspects of the study of dark ma
The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) is an ongoing sensitive, high-resolution 120-168MHz survey of the entire northern sky for which observations are now 20% complete. We present our first full-quality public data release. For this data release 424
Most of the sky has been imaged with NOAOs telescopes from both hemispheres. While the large majority of these data were obtained for PI-led projects and almost all of the images are publicly available, only a small fraction have been released to the
The Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey (BASS) is a wide and deep imaging survey to cover a 5400 deg$^2$ area in the Northern Galactic Cap with the 2.3m Bok telescope using two filters ($g$ and $r$ bands). The Mosaic $z$-band Legacy Survey (MzLS) covers the s
