HI科学与平方公里阵列

HI Science with the Square Kilometre Array

Lister Staveley-Smith, Tom Oosterloo

摘要:

平方公里阵列(SKA)将是详细研究外部星系和我们自己的星系和本星系群中中性氢(HI)的强大仪器。SKA的灵敏度,其宽的接收波段,以及相对自由的射频干扰在SKA网站将允许成像的大量高红移星系在HI的第一次。它还将允许以<100 pc的分辨率对整个本体积的星系进行成像,并详细研究银河系和外部星系中的星系盘以及星系盘、晕和星系间介质之间的过渡。再加上深度光学和毫米/亚毫米成像,这将对我们理解不同环境中星系的形成、生长和随后的演化产生深远的影响。本文提供了一个介绍性的文本,一系列的九个科学论文描述的影响,在HI和星系演化领域的SKA。我们提出了一套嵌套的调查与SKA的第一阶段,这将有助于解决许多令人兴奋的科学描述。讨论了更长时间的宇宙巡天,包括一个超深的巡天,它应该允许在z=2时探测星系,当时宇宙是目前年龄的四分之一。完整的SKA将允许对更遥远的星系进行更详细的成像,并允许以精密的精度测量宇宙学和进化参数。

英文摘要:

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be a formidable instrument for the detailed study of neutral hydrogen (HI) in external galaxies and in our own Galaxy and Local Group. The sensitivity of the SKA, its wide receiver bands, and the relative freedom from radio frequency interference at the SKA sites will allow the imaging of substantial number of high-redshift galaxies in HI for the first time. It will also allow imaging of galaxies throughout the Local Volume at resolutions of <100 pc and detailed investigations of galaxy disks and the transition between disks, halos and the intergalactic medium (IGM) in the Milky Way and external galaxies. Together with deep optical and millimetre/sub-mm imaging, this will have a profound effect on our understanding of the formation, growth and subsequent evolution of galaxies in different environments. This paper provides an introductory text to a series of nine science papers describing the impact of the SKA in the field of HI and galaxy evolution. We propose a nested set of surveys with phase 1 of the SKA which will help tackle much of the exciting science described. Longer commensal surveys are discussed, including an ultra-deep survey which should permit the detection of galaxies at z=2, when the Universe was a quarter of its current age. The full SKA will allow more detailed imaging of even more distant galaxies, and allow cosmological and evolutionary parameters to be measured with exquisite precision.
