Ultra High Sensitivity VLBI: A Leap in Bandwidth

AST-0352953/杜尔曼，东北无线电观测公司该奖项将支持极宽带宽、超高灵敏度、超长基线干涉测量技术和仪器基础的创新。技术改进的基础将是获得高数据率记录设备，这些设备可以移植到望远镜的最佳组合中，以观察特定现象。该计划的科学目标包括对人马座A*源(银河系中心)的高分辨率观测；红外星系的恒星爆发区域；以及棕矮星发出的微弱射电辐射。该计划包括与全球合作伙伴的广泛合作，以及本科生和研究生的参与。

AST-0352953/Doeleman, Northeast Radio Obs CorpThe award will support the innovation of technical and instrumental underpinnings of very wide bandwidth, ultra high sensitivity Very Long Baseline Interferometry. The basis of the technical improvements will be the acquisition of high data rate recording devices that can be ported to the optimal combination of telescopes for observations of particular phenomena. Included in the scientific targets of the program are high-resolution observations of the Sagittarius A* source (the center of the Milky Way galaxy); the starburst regions of infrared galaxies; and faint radio emissions from Brown Dwarf stars. The program includes extensive collaborations with worldwide partners, and the involvement of students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
