Scientific paper

A sample of 43 radio sources detected in 89 fields with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope at a wavelength of 6 cm (4995 MHz) is analyzed statistically. The flux-density limits for this sample are 4.5 and 35 mJy. The results obtained show that: (1) the 6-cm source counts begin to converge in the range between 4 and 100 mJy, but the rate of convergence is not as rapid as that found in previous longer-wavelength Westerbork surveys; (2) the spectral-index distribution of the present sample appears to be similar to that for sources in 6-cm deep Bonn surveys; (3) the percentage of sources with optical counterparts exhibits a systematic decline as a function of decreasing flux density; and (4) the median angular size of faint 6-cm sources is less than 8 arcsec.
