The 6C Survey of radio sources (6C) is an astronomical catalogue of celestial radio sources as measured at 151-MHz. The Cavendish Astrophysics Group (formerly the Radio Astronomy Group is based at the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. The University of Cambridge (often Cambridge University) located in Cambridge, England, is the second-oldest university in the In Physics wavelength is the distance between repeating units of a propagating Wave of a given Frequency. The Cambridge Low-Frequency Synthesis Telescope (CLFST is an east-west Aperture synthesis Radio telescope currently operating at 151 MHz. Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory ( MRAO) is home to a number of large Aperture synthesis Radio telescopes including the One-Mile Telescope, The 6C Survey of radio sources ( 6C) is an Astronomical catalogue of celestial radio sources as measured at 151-MHz An astronomical catalog or catalogue is a list or tabulation of Astronomical objects typically grouped together because they share a common type morphology origin It was published between 1985 and 1993 by the Radio Astronomy Group of the University of Cambridge.
