We are grateful to the former NCRA Centre Director, Prof. Rajaram Nityananda for granting test time of several tens of hours on GMRT to enable us to arrive at an appropriate observing strategy, improve the analysis pipeline and encouragement. We thank the then GTAC Chairman Prof. Padmanabhan for granting 100 hours of observing time with GMRT in GMRT Observing Cycle 16 for this important survey which has enabled us to generate these results and demonstrate the power of GMRT in generating an all sky survey at 150 MHz. We thank Prof. Govind Swarup and several of our colleagues for discussions and encouragement. We are grateful to the teams of FIRST , NVSS , VLSS and WENSS for doing all the hard work and then allowing the entire community to use the 'sky'. We also highly appreciate and thank the teams who have developed and continue to develop AIPS and AIPS++ . We appreciate and are grateful to the control room personnel at GMRT for helping with the long observing runs and doing their best to ensure good data quality. |
