Abstract

A project is underway to develop a two-element interferometer for dedicated monitoring of compact radio sources. The primary goal will involve long-term, fully-sampled monitoring of a large population of extragalactic sources to study interstellar scintillation and search for extreme scattering events. The interferometer will make use of two existing 26-metre antennas with an east-west separation of about 400 metres at the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute, in partnership with the Pisgah Astronomical Research and Science Education Centre, an interinstitutional centre of the University of North Carolina system.

专用干涉仪快速变异性

目前正在进行一个项目，开发一种双元干涉仪，用于专门监测紧凑型射电源。主要目标将包括对大量星系外源进行长期、全采样的监测，以研究星际闪烁和寻找极端散射事件。干涉仪将利用位于Pisgah天文研究所的两个现有的26米天线，东西间距约400米，与Pisgah天文研究和科学教育中心合作，该中心是北卡罗来纳大学系统的一个机构间中心。
