摘要:

在本文中,我们描述的系统设计和能力的澳大利亚平方公里阵列探路者(ASKAP)射电望远镜在其建设项目的结论和开始的科学业务。ASKAP是第一批大规模部署相控阵馈电(PAF)技术的射电望远镜之一,使其在800 MHz下的瞬时视场覆盖31平方度。作为一个由36x12米天线组成的二维阵列,基线范围从22米到6公里,ASKAP还具有出色的快照成像能力和10角秒的分辨率。再加上288 MHz的瞬时带宽和每个天线上独特的第三旋转轴,使ASKAP能够非常快速地创建大天空区域的高动态范围图像。这是一台用于700兆赫至1800兆赫巡天的出色望远镜,预计将促进我们对星系形成、宇宙学和射电瞬变的理解取得巨大进展,同时为发现未知事物开辟新的参数空间。

英文摘要:

In this paper we describe the system design and capabilities of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope at the conclusion of its construction project and commencement of science operations. ASKAP is one of the first radio telescopes to deploy phased array feed (PAF) technology on a large scale, giving it an instantaneous field of view that covers 31 square degrees at 800 MHz. As a two-dimensional array of 36x12m antennas, with baselines ranging from 22m to 6km, ASKAP also has excellent snapshot imaging capability and 10 arcsecond resolution. This, combined with 288 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth and a unique third axis of rotation on each antenna, gives ASKAP the capability to create high dynamic range images of large sky areas very quickly. It is an excellent telescope for surveys between 700 MHz and 1800 MHz and is expected to facilitate great advances in our understanding of galaxy formation, cosmology and radio transients while opening new parameter space for discovery of the unknown.
