Scientific paper

We analyse the 267 radio sources from our deep (flux limit of 42 microJy at the field center at 1.4 GHz) Chandra Deep Field South 1.4 and 5 GHz VLA survey. The radio population is studied by using a wealth of multi-wavelength information, including morphology and spectral types, in the radio, optical, and X-ray bands. The availability of redshifts for ~ 70% of our sources allows us to derive reliable luminosity estimates for the majority of the objects. Contrary to some previous results, we find that star-forming galaxies make up only a minority (~ 1/3) of sub-mJy sources, the bulk of which are faint radio galaxies, mostly of the Fanaroff-Riley I type.
