Comparisons between MSSS sensitivities (left) and resolutions (right) with those of other existing radio surveys as summarized in Table 4. In the lefthand panel, dashed lines indicate representative spectral indices of α = −0.7 and α = −1.4. The solid black lines illustrate the frequency dependence of the sensitivity in the 8 bands in each of the LBA and HBA survey segments, while the black stars show the frequency-averaged sensitivity demonstrated in Sect. 5. In the righthand panel, the downward-pointing arrows indicate that the angular resolution of the initial MSSS catalog is limited with respect to the capabilities of the visibility data. Processing the full array will improve the survey performance.
