    Memo 67 SKA Demonstrators, 2005 Assessment by the Engineering Working Group P. J. Hall (EWG Chair), On Behalf of the Group 01/12/05 www.skatelescope.org/pages/page_memos.htm 2 Table of Contents Section Page Summary Remarks 3 Appendix 1 – Reviews of 2005 SKA Demonstrator Updates Chinese Demonstrator (FAST) 10 Canadian Demonstrator (CLAR) 13 US Demonstrators (ATA, DSAN) 16 European Demonstrator (EMBRACE) 19 South African Demonstrator (KAT) 22 Appendix 2 – Guidelines for Reviewers 29 Appendix 3 – SKA Demonstrator Updates for 2005 33 (PDF documents Appended as Submitted) 3 SKA Demonstrators – Summary Remarks Peter Hall, 1 December 2005 1. Introduction The EWG has considered the five SKA demonstrator submissions received. In four cases these submissions were brief updates of previous (2004) detailed expositions. However, an initial outline of the Karoo Array Telescope (KAT) was received from the South African SKA Consortium and the EWG devoted extra effort to a more thorough assessment of this project. No demonstrator updates were received from Australia or India although the Australian SKA Consortium submitted a background report in the form of the statutory annual report for their Major National Research Facility program (available at http://www.atnf.csiro.au/projects/mnrf2001/Astronomy_MNRF_0405.pdf). While this report does not contain detailed schedule information for the proposed Extended New Technology Demonstrator (xNTD) project, it does indicate that the SKA Molonglo Prototype (SKAMP) program is still largely on track. However, additional enquiries indicate that SKAMP development beyond mid-2007 still depends on as yet uncertain funding. It should also be mentioned that KAT and xNTD are very similar instruments and much of the EWG commentary is likely to apply to both projects.

  • The Arizona Radio Observatory: a New 12-M Telescope and Other Developments
    The Arizona Radio Observatory: A New 12-M Telescope and Other Developments Robert W. Freund*1, Lucy M. Ziurys2, Eugene F. Lauria3, George P. Reiland4 lThe University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721-0065, USA, (520)626-7714, (520)621-5554 FAX, [email protected], 2(520)621-6525, [email protected], 3(520)626-1098, [email protected], 4(520)626-6744, [email protected] Abstract The Arizona Radio Observatory (ARO) operates two radio telescopes in the millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelength region. Recently, one of these instruemnts, the aging, former NRAO 12 meter telescope on Kitt Peak, was replaced with one of the 12 m ALMA prototype antennas. The high performance design of this new instrument, including its 20 microns surface and sub-arcsecond pointing, will expand observational capabilites at the ARO. New receivers and backends are also in development at ARO. A dual polarization sideband separating SIS mixer covering the 0.7 mm atmospheric windw, ranging from 385 GHz to 500 GHz, has been installed as a facility instrument on the Sub-Millimeter Telescope (SMT) on Mount Graham. A prototype Band 2 receiever, based on HEMT amplifier technology, has been built and tested on the sky. These new additions and other developments will be presented. 1. Introduction Astronomical observations at millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths are routinely performed at the two telescopes operated by the Arizona Radio Observatory (ARO) at the University of Arizona. One telescope, the 10-meter diameter Sub-Millimeter Telescope (SMT), is located at an exceptional site at 3186.0 m on Mount Graham, 160 km east of Tucson, Arizona.

  • Detailed Radio View on Two Stellar Explosions and Their Host Galaxy
    Draft version June 7, 2018 A Preprint typeset using LTEX style emulateapj v. 11/10/09 DETAILED RADIO VIEW ON TWO STELLAR EXPLOSIONS AND THEIR HOST GALAXY: XRF080109/SN2008D AND SN2007UY IN NGC2770 A. J. van der Horst1, A. P. Kamble2, Z. Paragi3,4, L. J. Sage5, S. Pal6, G. B. Taylor7, C. Kouveliotou8, J. Granot9, E. Ramirez-Ruiz10, C. H. Ishwara-Chandra11, T. A. Oosterloo12,13, R. A. M. J.

Garrett12,17,18 Draft version June 7, 2018 ABSTRACT The galaxy NGC 2770 hosted two core-collapse supernova explosions, SN2008D and SN2007uy, within 10 days of each other and 9 years after the first supernova of the same type, SN1999eh, was found in that galaxy. In particular SN 2008D attracted a lot of attention due to the detection of an X-ray outburst, which has been hypothesized to be caused by either a (mildly) relativistic jet or the supernova shock breakout. We present an extensive study of the radio emission from SN 2008D and SN 2007uy: flux measurements with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope and the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope, covering ∼600 days with observing frequencies ranging from 325 MHz to 8.4 GHz. The results of two epochs of global Very Long Baseline Interferometry observations are also discussed. We have examined the molecular gas in the host galaxy NGC 2770 with the Arizona Radio Observatory 12-m telescope, and present the implications of our observations for the star formation and seemingly high SN rate in this galaxy.

  • ALMA 2030 Reports
    White Paper: ASAC recommendations for ALMA 2030 Alberto D. Bolatto (chair), John Carpenter, Simon Casassus, Daisuke Iono, Rob Ivison, Kelsey Johnson, Huib van Langevelde, Jesús Martín-Pintado, Munetake Momose, Raphael Moreno, Kentaro Motohara, Roberto Neri, Nagayoshi Ohashi, Tomoharu Oka, Rachel Osten, Richard Plambeck, Eva Schinnerer, Douglas Scott, Leonardo Testi, & Alwyn Wootten This document summarizes the recommendations emerging from the ALMA 2030 process. The findings are discussed in three documents: 1) the Major Science Themes in the 2020-2030 decade, 2) the landscape of Major Facilities by 2030, and 3) the Pathways to Developing ALMA, which describes a number of possible developments. After compiling this information, the ALMA Science Advisory Committee discussed together with the Regional Program Scientists and the JAO at its February 2015 face-to-face meeting the best avenues for mid- and long-term improvement of the observatory, arriving at the conclusions presented here. The purpose of these recommendations is to guide the regional ALMA Development process in a coherent fruitful direction, by presenting a list of broad themes we foresee as the highest priority among the developments considered. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the development process also includes a creative, bottom-up element. Innovative technical ideas well grounded in astronomy should also have space in the future development of ALMA, and in that sense this is not an exclusive list. It also assumes that completion of the baseline capabilities of ALMA (adding bands 1 and 2) will proceed. Separately from these developments, the ASAC notes that a large single-dish telescope equipped with cameras capable of fast large-scale mapping would be an important scientific complement to the interferometer.
