BURSTT: Bustling Universe Radio Survey Telescope in Taiwan
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are bright millisecond-duration radio transients that appear about 1,000 times per day, all-sky, for a fluence threshold 5 Jy ms at 600 MHz. The FRB radio-emission physics and the compact objects involved in these events subjects of intense active debate. To better constrain source models, Bustling Universe Survey Telescope Taiwan (BURSTT) is optimized to discover localize large sample rare, high-fluence, nearby FRBs. This population most amenable multi-messenger, multi-wavelength follow-up, allowing deeper understanding mechanisms. BURSTT will provide horizon-to-horizon sky coverage with half power field-of-view (FoV) $\sim$10$^{4}$ deg$^{2}$, 400 MHz effective bandwidth between 300-800 MHz, sub-arcsecond localization, made possible using outrigger stations hundreds thousands km from main array. Initially, employ 256 antennas. After tests various antenna designs optimization system performance we plan expand 2048 We estimate BURSTT-256 detect $\sim$100 ($\geq$100 ms) FRBs year. Another advantage BURSTT's FoV continuous operation be greatly enhanced monitoring repetition. current lack sensitive all-sky observations likely means many repeating currently cataloged as single-event

Local Survey at the E elsberg Radio Telescope 1997 - Preliminary
In summer 1996 a major repair of the EEelsberg 100 m radio telescope's ground track had to be carried out due to cracks in the tracks surface. This led to a signiicant permanent displacement of the VLBI reference point. A local survey was, therefore, organized to measure the position of the reference point with respect to three permanent ground markers which had also been used in earlier measur...
متن کاملMetrewave Radio Telescope Survey Using Mg II Systems
We present the results of a systematic Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) survey of 21-cm absorption in a representative and unbiased sample of 35 strong Mg ii systems in the redshift range: zabs∼1.10−1.45, 33 of which have Wr ≥1 Å. The survey using ∼400hrs of telescope time has resulted in 9 new 21-cm detections and stringent 21-cm optical depth upper limits (median 3σ optical depth per 10...
متن کاملSome Radio Telescope Considerations in Millimeter and Submillimeter Radio Astronomy
We review some aspects of radio telescope performance, particularly those relating to the characteristics of the feed system used for illuminating the antenna. We discuss the aperture eeciency, radiation pattern, beam width, and coupling and beam eeciencies, emphasizing the eeect of the aperture illumination on these quantities. The discussion should be useful for understanding calibration of a...
متن کاملBustling argon: biological effect
Argon is a noble gas in group 18 of the periodic table. Certificated to exist in air atmosphere merely one century ago, discovery of argon shows interesting stories of researching and exploring. It was assumed to have no chemical activity. However, argon indeed present its biological effect on mammals. Narcotic effect of argon in diving operation and neur-protective function of argon in cerebra...
متن کاملLarge-scale Radio Structure in the Universe: Giant Radio Galaxies
Giant radio galaxies (GRGs), with linear sizes larger than 1 Mpc (H0 = 50 km s Mpc), represent the biggest single objects in the Universe. GRGs are rare among the entire population of radio galaxies (RGs) and their physical evolution is not well understood though for many years they have been of special interest for several reasons. The lobes of radio sources can compress cold gas clumps and tr...
