本文介绍格陵兰望远镜加入EHT后的绝对通量密度校准流程,针对其2018年部分调试状态及2021年性能改善,估计关键校准参数与不确定性。

摘要:

从2018年4月的观测活动开始,格陵兰望远镜(GLT)作为事件视界望远镜(EHT)阵列的一个新站点加入。通往GLT的基线上的可见度,尤其是南北方向上的可见度,有可能为M87*等源的建模和成像提供有价值的新约束。GLT位于北极高纬度地区,这给其校准策略增加了独特的挑战。此外,由于在2018年观测时仅完成部分调试,GLT在该次观测期间的性能并非最佳。本文描述了为估计GLT数据绝对通量校准所需的各种参数(及其不确定性)而采取的步骤,这些数据属于EHT的一部分。我们特别考虑了GLT在2018年的非优化状态,以及其在2021年EHT观测活动期间改善后的性能。

英文摘要:

Starting from the observing campaign in April 2018, the Greenland Telescope (GLT) has been added as a new station of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) array. Visibilities on baselines to the GLT, particularly in the North-South direction, potentially provide valuable new constraints for the modeling and imaging of sources such as M87*. The GLT's location at high Northern latitudes adds unique challenges to its calibration strategies. Additionally, the performance of the GLT was not optimal during the 2018 observations due to it being only partially commissioned at the time. This document describes the steps taken to estimate the various parameters (and their uncertainties) required for the absolute flux calibration of the GLT data as part of the EHT. In particular, we consider the non-optimized status of the GLT in 2018, as well as its improved performance during the 2021 EHT campaign.
