Abstract
AbstractTo search for variable radio sources, we used two well-known radio catalogs NVSS and FIRST, both providing fluxes at 1400 MHz. Cross-correlation enabled us to find 556,282 radio sources present in both catalogs. Using the 3σ criteria we distinguished 6,301 variable radio sources, and with certain limitations specified the 260 strongest radio variables. We cross-correlated these 260 sources with other catalogs at different wavelengths (APM, SDSS DR10, VCV-13, BZCAT, 2MASS, and WISE). As a result we obtained photometric data for optical, NIR, MIR and radio ranges for these 260 variable radio sources to study them in details.
