Notes. The position (l, b), intensity density I1 at 330 MHz and Δl as longitudinal and Δb as latitudinal extension of each object are taken from LaRosa et al. (2000). and represent the non-thermal radio emission spectral index. The flux is connected to a uncertainty of 15% which leads to a ~ 5% uncertainty for the equipartition magnetic field.
