This is a catalog of 208 point sources detected in the WMAP sky maps independently from any previous surveys. The sources listed in the catalog were detected as ≥ 5 sigma peaks in WMAP maps that have been weighted by the square root of the number of observations and optimally filtered for point source detection. The position of each source is obtained by fitting a Gaussian profile plus a baseline to each detected peak. Of the 208 detected sources, 203 have one or more known counterparts; the 5 sources that do not are very close to the detection threshold and are thought to be spurious. The catalog lists the following parameters for each source:
