在阿雷西博进行的河外HI巡天:未来

Extragalactic HI Surveys at Arecibo: the Future

Riccardo Giovanelli

摘要:

从20世纪70年代开始,阿雷西博305米望远镜在河外光谱学领域做出了开创性的贡献。随着格里高利升级在20世纪90年代末完成,望远镜获得了视野。在L波段(ALFA)使用七馈源阵列的视场的人口增加了近一个数量级的调查速度。因此,望远镜的河外天文学时间大部分现在分配给调查项目,这是简要讨论。305米望远镜的下一个技术发展阶段预计是利用相控阵技术的40光束系统:AO40。这将进一步加快望远镜的测量性能。它示出了如何的调查速度AO40的品质因数将与SKA前体设施,计划在未来十年的操作。简要讨论了一些科学上可取的新的调查,将成为可能与AO 40。

英文摘要:

Starting in the 1970s, the Arecibo 305m telescope has made seminal contributions in the field of extragalactic spectroscopy. With the Gregorian upgrade completed in the late 1990s, the telescope acquired a field of view. Population of that field of view with a seven-feed array at L-band (ALFA) increased by nearly one order of magnitude its survey speed. As a result, much of the extragalactic astronomy time of the telescope is now allocated to survey projects, which are briefly discussed. The next technical development stage for the 305m telescope is foreseen as that of a 40 beam system that would take advantage of phased array technology: AO40. This would further speed up the survey performance of the telescope. It is shown how the figure of merit for survey speed of AO40 would be comparable with that of SKA-precursor facilities, planned for operation in the next decade. A number of scientifically desirable new surveys that would become possible with AO40 are briefly discussed.
