Wide Field Beamformed Observation with MeerKAT

نویسندگان

چکیده

Large-scale beamforming with radio interferometers has the potential to revolutionize science done pulsars and fast bursts by improving survey efficiency for these sources. We describe a wide-field beamformer MeerKAT telescope outline strategies optimally design such surveys. A software implementation of techniques, ${\rm M{\small OSAIC}}$ is introduced its application in presented. show initial results using observing globular cluster track several simultaneously demonstrate source localization capability this observation.

MeerKAT - The South African Array With Composite Dishes and Wide-Band Single Pixel Feeds

| The MeerKAT is a precursor for the Bsmall dish plus single-pixel wide-band feed[ scenario for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The current goal specification is for an array of 80 12-m dishes operating over a continuous frequency range of 0.7–10 GHz, thus the individual receptors match the SKA draft specification for midband dishes. The proposed array configuration is centrally concentrated ...

Wide-field Magnetic Field Imaging with Nitrogen

The nitrogen vacancy center (NV) is a promising single spin system in diamond with optical polarization, readout and optically detected magnetic resonances (ODMR). The NV has been shown to be a sensitive magnetometer at room temperature. In particular, owing to their small size, NV centers in nanocrystals (nanodiamonds) offer magnetic field imaging with high spatial resolution. Competitive magn...

Wide-field tracking with zenith-pointing telescopes

Equipped with a suitable optical relay system, telescopes employing low-cost fixed primary mirrors could point and track while delivering high-quality images to a fixed location. Such an optical tracking system would enable liquid-mirror telescopes to access a large area of sky and employ infrared detectors and adaptive optics. Such telescopes could also form the elements of an array in which l...

Wide field astronomy with Starbug 1

Starbug is a new concept for a robotic positioning system able to deploy many payloads, such as pickoff optics, optical fibres, integral field units over the focal surface of a telescope. Aimed at addressing some of the weakness of current positioning systems, Starbug employs micro-robotic actuators to independently and simultaneously position multiple small payloads accurately on an arbitraril...
