The Australia Telescope 20 GHz Survey: the source catalogue

We present the full source catalogue from the Australia Telescope 20 GHz (AT20G) Survey. The AT20G is a blind radio survey carried out at 20 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) from 2004 to 2008, and covers the whole sky south of declination 0 . The AT20G source catalogue presented here is an order of magnitude larger than any previous catalogue of high-frequency radio sources, and includes 5890 sources above a 20 GHz flux-density limit of 40 mJy. All AT20G sources have total intensity and polarization measured at 20 GHz, and most sources south of declination -15 also have near-simultaneous flux-density measurements at 5 and 8 GHz. A total of 1559 sources were detected in polarized total intensity at one or more of the three frequencies.
