Table 1.

Details of 2009–2010 MERLIN (EP1–7), 2010 e-MERLIN (EP8) and archival MERLIN observations. ToS correspond to time on source (in hours)^a and the rms noise is given in μJy bm⁻¹^b. Unless indicated otherwise, the observations were done without the Lovell telescope. The table also displays, in the last column, measured values of flux density (in mJy)^c of the phase calibrator 0955+697. The flux density for EP8, measured at 6.0 GHz, was converted to 4.995 GHz using S ∝ ν^α, where α = −0.23 (Vollmer et al. 2010) for this source.
