Abstract · v1

We present the low-frequency GAMA-23 field of the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey with upgraded Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) observations in Band-2 (120−250120-250 MHz). The on-source observation was conducted for ∼5{\sim}5 hours. The final image achieved an off-source RMS noise of 320 μμJy beam−1^{-1}, covering an area of 5.86 deg25.86\,\text{deg}^2 with restoring beam size of 15.4′′×8.2′′15.4''{\times}8.2'' at the central frequency of 183 MHz. The catalogue derived from the radio image includes 569 sources with a flux density limit of ≥ 5σ{\geq}\,5σ. The flux density measurements and the positional accuracy are cross-verified and compared with other radio catalogues available in the literature. The spectral indices derived from fitting a power law are -0.68−0.23+0.18^{+0.18}_{-0.23} for the ASKAP EMU catalogue and -0.72−0.24+0.19^{+0.19}_{-0.24} for the NVSS catalogue. The normalised source count derived from this catalogue is consistent with models and observations with a nominal catalogue threshold of 1.7 mJy, while the sensitivity varies across the image.
