低表面亮度无线电天空的深度调查

A deep survey of the low-surface-brightness radio sky

摘要:

我们利用20厘米波段的澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列,以一种观测模式对8.4平方度的天空区域进行了无线电测量-澳大利亚望远镜低亮度测量,这种观测模式旨在提供对表面亮度具有特别灵敏度的宽视场图像,从而探索射电源群中的新参数空间。这次调查的目标是量化角大小的分布,特别是在弱表面亮度水平:这对SKA深层调查的混乱有影响。这次调查预计将导致一个普查的无线电发射与低功率无线电星系在红移1-3,没有任何遗漏的扩展发射,因此,宇宙演化的低功率无线电星系的研究,以更高的红移和活动星系核的反馈在强烈的黑洞增长阶段在这一红移范围内的全面研究。

英文摘要:

We have made a radio survey--the Australia Telescope Low Brightness Survey (ATLBS)--of 8.4 square degrees sky area, using the Australia Telescope Compact Array in the 20-cm band, in an observing mode designed to provide wide-field images with exceptional sensitivity in surface brightness, and thereby explore a new parameter space in radio source populations. The goals of this survey are to quantify the distribution in angular sizes, particularly at weak surface brightness levels: this has implications for the confusion in deep surveys with the SKA. The survey is expected to lead to a census of the radio emission associated with low-power radio galaxies at redshifts 1-3, without any missing extended emission, and hence a study of the cosmic evolution of low-power radio galaxies to higher redshift and a comprehensive study of the AGN feedback during the intense black hole growth phase during this redshift range.
