平方公里阵列的宇宙磁及其寻路器

Cosmic Magnetism with the Square Kilometre Array and its Pathfinders

Bryan M. Gaensler

摘要:

平方公里阵列(SKA)的五个关键科学项目之一是“宇宙磁场的起源和演变”,其中无线电偏振测量将用于揭示宇宙磁体的样子以及它们在不断演变的宇宙中扮演的角色。许多正在建造的SKA原型也将磁场和偏振测量作为关键科学领域。在这里,我回顾了创新的新的旋光和法拉第旋转实验与即将到来的设施,如ASKAP,LOFAR,ATA,EVLA,并最终SKA的前景。利用这些望远镜进行的灵敏的宽场偏振巡天将为银河系、附近星系和星团以及高红移宇宙的磁场提供一个引人注目的新视角。

英文摘要:

One of the five key science projects for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is "The Origin and Evolution of Cosmic Magnetism", in which radio polarimetry will be used to reveal what cosmic magnets look like and what role they have played in the evolving Universe. Many of the SKA prototypes now being built are also targeting magnetic fields and polarimetry as key science areas. Here I review the prospects for innovative new polarimetry and Faraday rotation experiments with forthcoming facilities such as ASKAP, LOFAR, the ATA, the EVLA, and ultimately the SKA. Sensitive wide-field polarisation surveys with these telescopes will provide a dramatic new view of magnetic fields in the Milky Way, in nearby galaxies and clusters, and in the high-redshift Universe.
