Abstract: A dataset of simulated astronomical radio maps (fits format, size 2500 x 2500) with both compact and extended sources that can be used to test automated source extraction algorithms. Maps were produced with the CASA tool as described in S Riggi et al, PASA (2019) to test CAESAR source finding performances. The dataset includes: - Simulated maps in FITS format ("recmap_vis-RUNXXX.fits") - List of generated sources in Caesar ROOT format ("sources-RUNXXX.root") and corresponding DS9 regions ("ds9regions-RUNXXX.reg") - List of generated sources (co...
