VLA snapshot continuum survey of the first quadrant of the Galactic plane at 1. 5 GHz
A continuum VLA survey of the Galactic plane has been performed at 1.5 GHz, with most fields complete to about 30 mJy peak flux density. Measurements of position, peak, and total flux density have been obtained for 471 compact sources. An excess of sources above that predicted from extragalactic source counts is found for longitudes less than 40 deg at all flux-density intervals. With the exception of 86 compact sources that lie within 2.4 arcsec of a source in the radio recombination-line survey of Lockman (1988), source counts are shown to agree with extragalactic source counts for all flux-density and longitude intervals. 21 references.
