xNTD and the Path towards the SKA

چکیده

The CSIRO-led eXtended New Technology Demonstrator (xNTD) will test key SKA technologies whilst delivering exciting science outcomes in the fields of HI surveys, gaseous evolution, galactic magnetism, pulsars and transients. The xNTD and its sister telescope, the MIT-led Low Frequency Demonstrator (LFD), build on technologies developed by the Sydney University SKA Molonglo Prototype (SKAMP) and the CSIRO New Technology Demonstrator (NTD). The science and technology goals for the xNTD are outlined, and the implications for SKA science and technology development are discussed. The xNTD is at least an order of magnitude faster for HI surveys than existing instruments, making it a powerful instrument for gathering data on large samples of galaxies with the aim of complementing extensive infrared and optical surveys, and pushing the redshift range for the detection of substantial numbers of galaxies to z ∼ 0.5. Together, the xNTD and LFD are excellent demonstrations of SKA science and technology over a significant fraction of the SKA frequency range.

Expression of Recombinant Streptokinase from Streptococcus Pyogenes and Its Reaction with Infected Human and Murine Sera

  Objective(s): Streptokinase (SKa) is an antigenic protein which is secreted by Streptococcus pyogenes. Streptokinase induces inflammation by complement activation, which may play a role in post infectious diseases. In the present study, recombinant streptokinase from S. pyogenes was produced and showed that recombinant SKa protein was recognized by infected human sera using Western blot analy...

The angular resolution of the proposed Square Kilometre Array, SKA, must be extended towards the milliarcsecond scale if it is to resolve the distant starburst galaxies that are likely to dominate the radio source counts at micro and sub-microJy flux levels. This paper considers the best way of extending SKA's angular resolution towards the milliarcsecond scale. Two possible SKA-VLBI configurat...

SETI with SKA

SETI with SKA would be by far the most powerful SETI search ever undertaken, covering enough stars with enough sensitivity to probe significantly further towards those other Earth civilisations than previous ones. This paper discusses the rationale behind radio SETI searches, and explains why SKA will be such as big step forward and will make few demands on telescope time.
