The Galactic ionized gas seen with THOR

We present the 21cm continuum emission observed with the THOR survey (The HI/OH/Recombination line survey of the Milky Way) covering the whole inner Milky Way from 14.5 to 67.4 deg in Galactic longitude and 1:25 deg in Galactic latitude. These data provide a detailed view on the compact as well as extended radio emission of our inner Galaxy and thousands of extragalactic background sources. Investigating the distribution and spectral indices of the identified continuum sources with the THOR data allows us to characterize the physical properties of the sources.
