射电天文中焦面阵或多波束馈源的应用 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
焦面阵技术或者多波束馈源系统已经日益广泛地应用于现代射电望远镜,因为它可以充分地利用同一射电望远镜反射面所能提供的信息,在观测比射电望远镜方向瓣大得多的展源时数倍乃至数十倍地提高观测的速度;当存在大气层或电离层的起伏或不均匀影响观测成像质量时,可消除这种影响,提高观测质量;利用焦面阵各单个馈源接收到的信息的互相关,则可以实时监控射电望远镜的反射面、二次反射面、指向精度,从而降低地面上大射电望远镜或空间射电望远镜的精度要求和造价。目前焦面阵已经愈来愈广泛地配置在毫米波射电望远镜和大型射电望远镜的主要波段。对此作了一个较新和全面的评述,对焦面阵应用中的限制,包括相位误差的限制和性能价格比的考虑和可能的前景作了简要的介绍。还分析了在计划中的大型主动球反射面射电望远镜(即FAST)上,配置焦面阵的相应限制、问题和难点,提出了初步的建议,并给出经中英双方讨论后初步拟定的FAST频段、波束及低噪声放大器的配置。 相似文献

脉冲星搜索是500 m口径球面射电望远镜(Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope,FAST)的主要科学目标之一。针对FAST设备性能,模拟FAST脉冲星巡天,优化巡天方案,对即将开展的FAST脉冲星巡天项目具有重要的实用价值。基于Parkes多波束巡天、Parkes中纬度巡天和Parkes高纬度巡天的结果,利用脉冲星分布模拟软件包PsrPopPy,模拟得到了银河系中正常脉冲星和毫秒脉冲星的空间分布样本,并根据FAST设备参数进行了虚拟观测。结果表明,使用FAST 19波束接收机漂移扫描观测模式,在中心频率为1250MHz,带宽为400 MHz,每波束扫描时间为13.5 s,有效积分时间为6.0 s的情况下,在赤纬为-14~?12′~65~?48′天区内,可发现1600颗正常脉冲星和238颗毫秒脉冲星。为获得银河系中脉冲星自旋演化的样本,使用evolve代码进行了再次模拟。设置相同的观测参数的情况下,在全天范围内模拟探测到孤立正常脉冲星1749颗,并得到其在P-P图上的分布。 相似文献

500 m口径球面射电望远镜(Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope,FAST)是一个超大口径的可动望远镜,有三项技术创新,一是选址,二是轻型馈源索支撑,三是主动反射面。在主动反射面上,单元面板的面型和面板的出厂加工精度对电磁波在反射面的汇聚有很大影响。FAST主反射面由4 600块三角形反射面板拼接而成,每块面板为边长11 m三角形,这对FAST反射面面板的测量技术提出了更高的要求。摄影测量直接在影像上进行量测,无需接触物体本身;所摄影像信息丰富,可以从中获得所研究物体的大量几何信息和物理信息;适用于大范围、多目标测量,效率高。目前世界上最大的射电望远镜,如GBT和ARECIBO都是采用摄影测量技术进行反射面面形检测。在对现有的面型检测技术调研并试验后,提出基于数字近景摄影测量的方法,对FAST反射面11 m单元面板的面型进行检测,数分钟完成反射面板面型的一次检测,测量精度达到2.5 mm,经过调整后的单元面板的面型精度达到了3.0 mm,结果表明摄影测量应用于FAST反射面单元面板面型检测是可行的。 相似文献

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST)was launched on 2016 September 25.From early 2017,we began to use the FAST wideband receiver,which was designed,constructed and installed on the FAST in Guizhou,China.The front end of the receiver is composed an uncooled Quad Ridge Flared Horn feed(QRFH)with the frequency range of 270 to 1620 MHz,and a cryostat operating at 10 K.We have cooperated with the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to develop the China Reconfigurable ANalog-digital backEnd(CRANE).The system covers the 3 GHz operating band of FAST.The hardware part of the backend includes an Analog Front-end Board,a wideband high precision Analog Digital Converter,and a FAST Digital Back-end.Analog circuit boards,field programmable gate arrays,and control computers form a set of hardware,software,and firmware platforms to achieve flexible bandwidth requirements through parameter changes.It is also suitable for the versatility of different astronomical observations,and can meet specific requirements.This paper briefly introduces the hardware and software of CRANE,as well as some observations of the system. 相似文献

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST)will be fully commissioned later in 2019.Once commissioned,operation and maintenance of FAST will be the most prominent task.The unique working mode of active shape-changing of FAST cable-net structure makes the traditional maintenance way,which combines routine inspection with preventive maintenances not only expensive,but also unable to effectively avoid potential risks in operations.Therefore,it is necessary to develop an economical and reliable operation/maintenance technology for FAST cable-net structure.In this paper,a Prognostics and Health Management(PHM)system is proposed based on the advanced Digital Twin(DT)technology.Through the finite element analysis of DT model,the current safety status of FAST cablenet is evaluated,and the fatigue life of components in the cable-net is predicted.Hence Condition-Based Maintenance(CBM)of FAST cable-net structure can be realized.The PHM system described in this paper can effectively guarantee the healthy and safe operation of the FAST cable-net structure,greatly improve the maintenance efficiency and reduce the cost for maintenance works. 相似文献

Radio Frequency Interference(RFI)mitigation is essential for supporting the science output of Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST)due to its high sensitivity.In order to protect FAST from RFI,an Electromagnetic Compatibility(EMC)study has been carried out and the operation of a Radio Quiet Zone(RQZ)is ongoing.RFI measurements of the telescope instruments and monitoring of the active radio services outside the site have revealed the radiation properties of the RFI sources.Based on the measurement results and theoretical analysis,various EMC methods have been implemented for the telescope to decrease the RFIs.Meanwhile,the main RFI sources in the FAST RQZ,such as mobile stations,broadcast stations and navigation instruments,have been identified,and the technical measures have been adopted to protect the quiet radio environment around the site.The early science outputs of FAST have demonstrated the efficiency of RFI mitigation methods. 相似文献

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST) will become one of the world-leading telescopes for pulsar timing array(PTA) research. The primary goals for PTAs are to detect(and subsequently study) ultra-low-frequency gravitational waves, to develop a pulsar-based time standard and to improve solar system planetary ephemerides. FAST will have the sensitivity to observe known pulsars with significantly improved signal-to-noise ratios and will discover a large number of currently unknown pulsars. We describe how FAST will contribute to PTA research and show that jitter-and timing-noise will be the limiting noise processes for FAST data sets. Jitter noise will limit the timing precision achievable over data spans of a few years while timing noise will limit the precision achievable over many years. 相似文献

Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope project 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) is proposed to be built in the unique karst area of southwest China,
and will act, in a sense, as a prototype for the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). It will be over twice as large as the Arecibo
telescope coupled with much wider sky coverage. Some results from site surveys for such a SKA concept are briefly reported.
Technically, FAST is not simply a copy of the existing Arecibo telescope but has rather a number of innovations. Firstly,
the proposed main spherical reflector, by conforming to a paraboloid of revolution in real time through actuated active control,
enables the realization of both wide bandwidth and full polarization capability while using standard feed design. Secondly,
a feed support system which integrates optical, mechanical and electronic technologies will effectively reduce the cost of
the support structure and control system. Pre-research on FAST has become a key project in the CAS.
This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST) is by far the largest telescope of any kind ever built. FAST produced its first light in September 2016 and it is now under commissioning, with normal operation to commence in late 2019. During testing and early science operation, FAST has started making astronomical discoveries, particularly pulsars of various kinds, including millisecond pulsars, binaries, gamma-ray pulsars, etc. The papers in this mini-volume propose ambitious observational projects to advance our knowledge of astronomy, astrophysics and fundamental physics in many ways.Although it may take FAST many years to achieve all the goals explained in these papers, taken together they define a powerful strategic vision for the next decade. 相似文献

Using the generic hydrodynamic model of gamma-ray burst(GRB) afterglows, we calculate the radio afterglow light curves of low luminosity, high luminosity,failed and standard GRBs in different observational bands of FAST’s energy window.The GRBs are assumed to be located at different distances from us. Our results rank the detectability of GRBs in descending order as high luminosity, standard, failed and low luminosity GRBs. We predict that almost all types of radio afterglows except those of low luminosity GRBs could be observed by a large radio telescope as long as the domains of time and frequency are appropriate. It is important to note that FAST can detect relatively weak radio afterglows at a higher frequency of 2.5 GHz for very high redshift up to z = 15 or even more. Radio afterglows of low luminosity GRBs can only be detected after the completion of the second phase of FAST. FAST is expected to significantly expand the sample of GRB radio afterglows in the near future. 相似文献
