Table 2

Variability indices at 1.4 and 4.8 GHz for flat- and steep-spectrum sources.

Variab. Flat Variab. Steep
index 1.4 GHz 4.8 GHz index 1.4/4.8 GHz

 <10% 0.69 0.60  <4% 0.70
10–20% 0.22 0.23 4–20% 0.30
20–30% 0.07 0.12
30–50% 0.02 0.05

Notes. Columns 2, 3, and 5 give the fractions of sources that show the corresponding variability index in Cols. 1 and 4. For steep-spectrum sources there is no significant difference between the variability indices at 1.4 and 4.8 GHz. The estimated values are from Tingay et al. (2003, see text).
