The VLA-VIRMOS Deep Field

We have conducted a deep survey (r.m.s. noise of about 17 microJy) with the Very Large Array (VLA) at 1.4 GHz, with a resolution of 6 arcsec, of a 1 square degree region included in the VIRMOS-VLT Deep Survey. The homogeneous sensitivity over the whole field has allowed to derive a complete sample of 1054 radio sources (5 sigma limit), 19 of which are considered as multiple, i.e. fitted with at least two separate components.

A detailed description of the VLA-VIRMOS radio survey is reported in Bondi et al. 2003, A&A,403, 857 while e description of the optical identification is reported in the paper Ciliegi et al. 2005, A&A, 441, 879
