What is it about?
This paper describes how we created and quality controlled a southern-sky source catalogue at 2.3 GHz using S-Band Polarisation All-Sky Survey (S-PASS) data. Incorporating the S-PASS catalogue with other radio catalogues will provide insights into the spectral evolution of many thousands of sources, and potentially provide context to the nature of source variability over decade time scales.

Why is it important?
Radio source catalogue are important tools in studying the evolution of galaxies over cosmic time. The S-PASS catalogue provides a unique view of the southern-sky at 2.3 GHz which can be used in many different areas of exciting astrophysics.
Perspectives
S-PASS is a fantastic resources of more than 20,000 radio sources. Exploring the new science that this catalogue can provide is an exciting prospect and I look forward to seeing what comes of it.
