Current and Future Developments in Deep , Wide – field VLBI Continuum Surveys
نویسنده
چکیده
I review the current status of deep, wide-field VLBI continuum surveys. I also discuss anticipated short and long-term improvements in sensitivity (e.g. the eEVN), and the science these developments will enable.

21st Century Vlbi: Deep Wide-field Surveys
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 poore...
متن کاملDeep Field Surveys - a Radio View
I present an introductory review text, focusing on recent deep field studies using radio telescopes, including high-resolution, widefield VLBI observations. The nature of the faint radio source population is discussed, taking into account complimentary data and results that are now available via the sub-mm, IR, optical and X-ray wavebands. New developments regarding the increased sensitivity of...
متن کاملe-VLBI... a Wide-field Imaging Instrument with Milliarcsecond Resolution & microJy Sensitivity
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...
متن کاملVLBI surveys
Systematic surveys of astronomical objects often lead to discoveries, but always provide invaluable information for statistical studies of well-defined samples. They also promote follow-up investigations of individual objects or classes. Surveys using a yet unexplored observing wavelength, a novel technique or a new instrument are of special importance. Significantly improved observing paramete...
