9320547 Broderick This research will be devoted to using the Very Large Array (VLA) in Socorro, New Mexico for a very sensitive large-scale survey of the sky north of -42 degrees declination. The VLA will be used to make more than 200,000 snapshot observations which will be combined to produce 2326 maps. These maps will have a nearly uniform sensitivity of less than 0.4 mjy. It is expected that about 2 million sources will be found. The maps and source list will be made available to the astronomical community as soon as they are finished via electronic mail, CD-ROMS, and other media. The data will be used by the Principal Investigator to search for Active Galactic Nuclei in nearby galaxies. The Principal Investigator has had many years of experience in work of this type and his work is very highly regarded by the astronomical community. ***

小行星9320547 这项研究将致力于使用新墨西哥州索科罗的超大型天线阵（VLA），对北纬-42度以北的天空进行非常灵敏的大规模调查。 VLA将用于进行超过200，000次快照观测，这些观测将被合并以生成2326张地图。 这些地图将具有小于0.4兆焦耳年的几乎一致的灵敏度。 预计将找到大约200万个源，地图和源列表将在完成后通过电子邮件、光盘和其他媒体提供给天文学界。 这些数据将由首席研究员用于搜索附近星系中的活动星系核。 首席研究员在这类工作中有多年的经验，他的工作受到天文学界的高度重视。 ***
