Abstract
In this paper, we present a wide-area 610-MHz survey of the ELAIS N1 field with the GMRT, covering an area of 12.8 deg2 at a resolution of 6 arcsec and with an rms noise of ∼40 μJy beam−1. This is equivalent to ∼20 μJy beam−1 rms noise at 1.4 GHz for a spectral index of −0.75. The primary goal of the survey was to study the polarized sky at sub-mJy flux densities at < GHz frequencies, alongwith a range of other science goals such as investigations into the nature of the low-frequency μJy source populations and alignments of radio jets. A total of 6400 sources were found in this region, the vast majority of them compact.
