宇宙演化图:追踪星系团到高红移

Evolutionary Map of the Universe: Tracing Clusters to High Redshift

Ray P. Norris

摘要:

澳大利亚SKA探路者(ASKAP)是一个新的射电望远镜正在澳大利亚西部建造。正在建造的关键调查之一是EMU(宇宙进化图),它将进行深度(~10 μJy/bm rms)无线电连续测量,覆盖整个天空,最远到+30 \circ。EMU可以与NRAO VLA巡天(NVSS)进行比较,但它的灵敏度约为NRAO VLA巡天的45倍,分辨率为NVSS的5倍。EMU也将比以前的大型调查对漫射发射有更好的灵敏度,预计将产生大量的遗迹,尾星系和晕的目录,并将增加已知星系团的数量。在这里,我们描述了EMU项目及其对星团天体物理学的影响。

英文摘要:

The Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) is a new radio-telescope being built in Western Australia. One of the key surveys for which it is being built is EMU (Evolutionary Map of the Universe), which will make a deep (~10 μJy/bm rms) radio continuum survey covering the entire sky as far North as +30\circ. EMU may be compared to the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS), except that it will have about 45 times the sensitivity, and five times the resolution. EMU will also have much better sensitivity to diffuse emission than previous large surveys, and is expected to produce a large catalogue of relics, tailed galaxies, and haloes, and will increase the number of known clusters by a significant factor. Here we describe the EMU project and its impact on the astrophysics of clusters.
