Deep JVLA Imaging of GOODS-N at 20cm
  New wideband continuum observations in the 1 - 2 GHz band of the GOODS-N
field using NSF's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) are presented. The best
image with an effective frequency of 1525 MHz reaches an rms noise in the field
center of 2.2 uJy with 1.6" resolution. A catalog of 795 sources is presented
covering a radius of nine arcminutes centered near the nominal center for the
GOODS-N field, very near the nominal VLA pointing center for the observations.
Optical/NIR identifications and redshift estimates both from ground-based and
HST observations are discussed. Using these optical/NIR data, it is most likely
that fewer than 2 per cent of the sources without confusion problems do not
have a correct identification. A large subset of the detected sources have
radio sizes > 1". It is shown that the radio orientations for such sources
correlate well with the HST source orientations especially for z < 1. This
suggests that a least a large subset of the 10kpc-scale disks of LIRG/ULIRG
galaxies have strong star-formation, not just in the nucleus. For the half of
the objects with z > 1, the sample must be some mixture of very high
star-formation rates, typically 300 M_sun/yr assuming pure star-formation, and
an AGN or a mixed AGN/star-formation population.
