欧洲VLBI网络的未来
The Future of the European VLBI Network
摘要：
以最近发表的欧洲VLBI未来的科学案例EVN2015为指导，本文勾画了EVN未来的路线图。正在讨论各种所需的技术改进，重点是电子VLBI的作用。通过这种创新，引入了新的科学能力。通过这种方式，EVN也被定位为一个有趣的平台，用于练习新技术和运营模式，与其他SKA探路者互补。作为回报，SKA的技术开发可以对VLBI的科学能力产生积极影响，例如开发能够处理更大数据速率的下一代相关器。廉价的频率捷变天线的发展对VLBI也是非常重要的。这增加了在SKA时代维持北半球全球VLBI阵列的潜力。
英文摘要：
Guided by the recently published science case for the future of European VLBI, EVN2015, a roadmap for the future of the EVN is sketched out in this paper. The various desired technical improvements are being discussed with an emphasis on the role of e-VLBI. With this innovation new scientific capabilities are introduced. In this way the EVN is also positioned as an interesting platform for exercising new techniques and operational models, complementary to other SKA pathfinders. In return, the technology development for the SKA can have a positive impact on the scientific capabilities of VLBI, for example on the development of a next generation correlator, capable to process much larger data-rates. The development of cheap, frequency agile antennas can also be of great importance for VLBI. This adds to the potential for maintaining a Northern hemisphere, global VLBI array in the SKA era.
