FAST L波段接收机波束方向图数据集
收藏资源简介:
本数据集由中国科学院国家天文台FAST团队创建,提供了五百米口径球面射电望远镜(FAST)L波段19波束接收机的波束方向图数据。该数据集包含1050-1110 MHz和1330-1430 MHz两个频率范围内所有19个波束的方向图信息,以FITS格式存储,详细刻画了主瓣和旁瓣的空间响应特性。数据通过观测强射电源PKS 0531+19并采用过采样扫描技术获得,经过严格校准和归一化处理。该数据集是进行FAST H I观测数据杂散辐射校正的关键基础,旨在提升对扩展源(如M33星系)及高红移H I强度映射的观测精度,对射电天文数据校准领域具有重要意义。
This dataset was created by the FAST Team from the National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It provides beam pattern data for the 19-beam receiver of the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) in the L-band. This dataset contains beam pattern information for all 19 beams within two frequency ranges: 1050–1110 MHz and 1330–1430 MHz, stored in FITS format, and thoroughly characterizes the spatial response properties of both the main lobe and sidelobes. The data were obtained by observing the strong radio source PKS 0531+19 using oversampled scanning techniques, and underwent rigorous calibration and normalization. This dataset serves as a key foundation for stray radiation correction of FAST H I observational data, aiming to improve the observational accuracy of extended sources such as the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) and high-redshift H I intensity mapping, and holds significant importance for the field of radio astronomical data calibration.
