The Karoo Array Telescope
The Karoo Array Telescope (KAT) will be a “1% demonstrator” for the SKA, located in a radio quiet reserve in the Karoo region of the Northern Cape province of South Africa. Besides developing technologies for the SKA project, the KAT will perform wide-field surveys that will be precursors to the eventual SKA products. The nominal specification for the KAT are listed, and the proposed science th...
متن کاملA Wideband Upgrade for the Australia Telescope Compact Array
The maximum signal bandwidth on the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) is to expand from 128MHz to 2GHz. Central to this development is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based digital filterbank correlator featuring high dynamic range and flexible configuration. Associated analog to digital conversion requirements will push the limits of high-speed sampling and quantisation technique...
متن کاملFRAM for the Cherenkov Telescope Array: an update
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a project to build a new generation ground-based gammaray observatory. The FRAM – F(/Ph)otometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor – is a device, which can provide it with the Vertical Aerosol Optical Depth (VAOD) maps in the field of view of the CTA in almost real time (delay in minutes). The FRAM is a small fast robotic astronomical telescope with a large fie...
متن کاملTowards an optimized design for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a future instrument for very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy that is expected to deliver an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity over existing instruments. In order to meet the physics goals of CTA in a cost-effective way, Monte Carlo simulations of the telescope array are used in its design. Specifically, we simulate large arrays comprising...
متن کاملPrototype Tests for the CELESTE Solar Array Gamma–Ray Telescope
The CELESTE experiment will be an Atmospheric Cherenkov detector designed to bridge the gap in energy sensitivity between current satellite and ground-based gamma-ray telescopes, 20 to 300 GeV. We present test results made at the former solar power plant, Themis, in the French Pyrenees. The tests confirm the viability of using a central tower heliostat array for Cherenkov wavefront sampling. 1 ...
