The surveyed sky area covers all declinations DE<0{deg}. To analyse compact sources the survey data have been re-processed to produce a set of 107 Stokes I maps with 10.75-arcmin resolution and the large scale emission contribution filtered out. In this paper we use these Stokes I images to create a total intensity southern-sky extragalactic source catalogue at 2.3GHz. The source catalogue contains 23389 sources and covers a sky area of 16600deg^2^, excluding the Galactic plane for latitudes |b|<10{deg}. Approximately 8% of catalogued sources are resolved. S-PASS source positions are typically accurate to within 35-arcsec. At a flux density of 225mJy the S-PASS source catalogue is more than 95% complete, and ~94% of S-PASS sources brighter than 500mJy/beam have a counterpart at lower frequencies. Description: Observations were carried out over the period October 2007 to January 2010 using the Parkes S-band receiver. The S-band receiver is a package with: a system temperature Tsys=20K, a beam Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of 8.9-arcmin, and a circular polarisation front-end ideal for linear polarisation observations with single-dish telescopes.

Note (2): Errors of -1 indicate a fitting error or nearly-circular source, where major and minor axis errors and position angle are poorly defined. Note (3): If a source has been well fitted, the residuals will be small. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgements: Bradely Meyers, bradley.meyers(at)postgrad.curtin.edu.au ================================================================================ (End) Patricia Vannier [CDS] 03-Feb-2017
