Beyond stacking: a maximum-likelihood method to constrain radio source counts below the detection threshold
We present a statistical method based on a maximum-likelihood approach to constrain the number counts of extragalactic sources below the nominal flux-density limit of continuum imaging surveys. We extract flux densities from a radio map using positional information from an auxiliary catalogue and sh...
