21st Century Vlbi: Deep Wide-field Surveys
نویسنده
چکیده
A 20-hour VLBI observation with the NRAO VLBA and GBT in the NOAO Boötes field reaches an rms noise of 9 microJy per beam at 1.4 GHz. Three sources were detected at 10-milliarcsecond resolution within the GBT primary beam of FWHM 8.6, including the 20milliJy calibrator and two sub-milliJy sources. By tapering the visibility data, portions of the VLBA primary beam of FWHM 29 were imaged at poorer sensitivity and resolution to yield five further detections. New developments at JIVE will permit deeper and wider VLBI surveys at full sensitivity and resolution, enabling new types of survey science.

The European VLBI Network (EVN) is in the process of establishing an e-VLBI array in which the radio telescopes and the EVN correlator at JIVE are connected in real-time, via high-speed national fibre optic networks and the pan-European research network, GÉANT. This paper reports on recent test results, including the production of the first real-time e-VLBI astronomical image. In a parallel and...
متن کاملDeep VLBI Imaging of Faint Radio Sources in the NOAO Boötes Field
We have conducted a deep, very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observation at 1.4 GHz of an area of sky located within the NOAO Boötes field, using the NRAO Very Long Baseline Array and 100-m Green Bank Telescope. Applying wide-field VLBI techniques, a total of 61 sources, selected from a Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) image, were surveyed simultaneously with a range of differe...
