Scientific paper

The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP; Bennett et al., 2003ApJ...583....1B) is a Medium-class Explorer (MIDEX) mission, that launched June 2001, designed to study cosmology by producing full-sky maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy. 208 point sources were found in a search of the first year of WMAP observations (Bennett et al. 2003, Cat. J/ApJS/148/97). A search for point sources in the three-year WMAP data found 323 sources (Hinshaw et al., 2007, Cat. J/ApJS/170/288). In this paper we report on 390 point sources found in the WMAP five-year maps (Table 1). We have applied the internal linear combination (ILC) V-W technique to the five-year maps and there are 99 sources detected in the region with |b|>10°. These are listed in Table 2. Among them, 64 are in the WMAP five-year source catalog, 17 can be identified with sources in NED based on continuity of spectral energy distributions, 17 are in complex Galactic emission regions, leaving only one source at 09:21:28, +7:24:22 without any identification.
