扩展甚大阵列

Expanded Very Large Array

Sean M. Dougherty, Rick Perley

摘要:

超大型阵列正在进行重大升级,将在1至50 GHz的连续灵敏度方面实现数量级的改进,两个极化的瞬时带宽高达8 GHz。新的WIDAR相关器提供了一个高度灵活的光谱仪,带宽高达16 GHz,每个阵列基线至少有16k个通道。这些新功能彻底改变了望远镜的科学发现潜力。早期的科学计划正在进行中。我们提供了一个更新的项目的状态和早期的科学计划的描述。

英文摘要:

The Very Large Array is undergoing a major upgrade that will attain an order of magnitude improvement in continuum sensitivity across 1 to 50 GHz with instantaneous bandwidths up to 8 GHz in both polarizations. The new WIDAR correlator provides a highly flexible spectrometer with up to 16 GHz of bandwidth and a minimum of 16k channels for each array baseline. The new capabilities revolutionize the scientific discovery potential of the telescope. Early science programs are now underway. We provide an update on the status of the project and a description of early science programs.
