VERA Kcal Surevey at 22 GHz
In 2007—2009 a 22GHz VLBI survey with VERA of a sample of 1536 sources
with correlated flux densities brighter than 200 mJy at 8 GHz was made. One half
of target sources has been detected. The detection limit was around 200 mJy.
We derived the correlated flux densities of 877 detected sources in three
ranges of projected baseline lengths. The objective of these observations
was to determine the suitability of given sources as phase calibrators for
dual-beam and phase-referencing observations at high frequencies.
Preliminary results indicate that the number of compact extragalactic
sources at 22 GHz brighter than a given correlated flux density level
is twice less than at 8 GHz.

The catalogue
of 877 detected sources is available.
