Measured and corrected source counts of the catalogue and comparisons to previous studies. Shown are the measured source counts (open blue circles); corrected source counts using the FDR and completeness simulations (filled blue circles); source counts from Franzen et al. (2016; yellow stars); source counts from Williams et al. (2016; red circles); source counts from de Zotti et al. (2010) scaled to ∼150 MHz assuming α = 0.7 (grey diamonds); source counts from Mahony et al. (2016; cyan diamonds), and finally simulated source counts from the S³ Wilman et al. (2008) simulations (red line). The shaded red and yellow regions reflect the source count corrections using smaller/larger sources from Sect. 6.4. The results using the Method 1 completeness correction are shown in panel a and those of Method 2 are shown in panel b.
