    The catalog contains sources selected down to a 5 sigma (sigma~2.3 uJy/beam) threshold. This catalog can be used for statistical analyses, accompanied with the corrections given in the data & catalog release paper (Smolcic et al. 2016). All completeness & bias corrections and source counts presented in Smolcic et al. (2016) were calculated using this sample.
