Abstract:
    We present catalogues of radio sources in the Small Magellanic Cloud
    from observations with the Parkes radio telescope at 1.42, 2.45, 4.75
    and 8.55GHz, and an additional catalogue from the Parkes-MIT-NRAO
    survey at 4.85GHz. A total of 224 sources were detected at at least
    one of these frequencies, 60 of which are reported here for the first
    time as radio sources. We compare positions and flux densities of
    these sources with previously published results and find no
    significant positional displacement or flux discrepancies.

Note (1): The definition adopted here for a significantly extended source is
           that the fitted size (solid angle) of the source is twice that of
           the effective beam size. The true angular size of the sources is the
           observed size deconvolved with the effective beam size.
           This means that for circular sources the deconvolved diameter of
           an 'extended' source is greater than the effective beam size.
           The effective beam sizes are in Table 1:
                  Frequency  Effective beam size
                  (GHz)         (arcmin)
