利用平方公里天线阵进行脉泽研究的机会

Opportunities for maser studies with the Square Kilometre Array

A. J. Green, W. A. Baan

摘要:

平方公里阵列(SKA)是下一代射电望远镜,其灵敏度和角分辨率比现有望远镜提高了两个数量级。目前,SKA预计将跨越0.1-25 GHz的频率范围,具有宽视场和极化发射测量等功能。这样的望远镜具有测试基本物理定律和产生变革性发现的巨大潜力。重要的科学目标包括:利用H2O超脉泽精确估算H 0,这将确定河外距离尺度;探测活动星系核中超大质量黑洞周围吸积盘的中心结构;研究与遥远星系中极端星暴活动有关的OH超脉泽;以前所未有的精度研究我们银河系中的分子气体和恒星形成。

英文摘要:

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is the radio telescope of the next generation, providing an increase in sensitivity and angular resolution of two orders of magnitude over existing telescopes. Currently, the SKA is expected to span the frequency range 0.1-25 GHz with capabilities including a wide field-of-view and measurement of polarised emission. Such a telescope has enormous potential for testing fundamental physical laws and producing transformational discoveries. Important science goals include using H2O megamasers to make precise estimates of H0, which will anchor the extragalactic distance scale, and to probe the central structures of accretion disks around supermassive black holes in AGNs, to study OH megamasers associated with extreme starburst activity in distant galaxies and to study with unprecedented precision molecular gas and star formation in our Galaxy.
