T-RaMiSu: The Two-meter Radio Mini Survey I. The Bootes Field
  We present wide area, deep, high-resolution 153 MHz GMRT observations of the
NOAO Bootes field, adding to the extensive, multi-wavelength data of this
region. The observations, data reduction, and catalogue construction and
description are described here. The seven pointings produced a final mosaic
covering 30 square degrees with a resolution of 25". The rms noise is 2
mJy/beam in the centre of the image, rising to 4-5 mJy/beam on the edges, with
an average of 3 mJy/beam. Seventy-five per cent of the area has an rms < 4
mJy/beam. The extracted source catalogue contains 1289 sources detected at
5\sigma, of which 453 are resolved. We estimate the catalogue to be 92 per cent
reliable and 95 per cent complete at an integrated flux density limit of 14
mJy. The flux densities and astrometry have been corrected for systematic
errors. We calculate the differential source counts {which are in good
agreement with those in the literature and provide an important step forward in
quantifying the source counts at these low frequencies and low flux densities}.
The GMRT 153 MHz sources have been matched to the 1.4 GHz NVSS and 327 MHz
WENSS catalogues and spectral indices were derived.
