Abstract: | This paper describes a wide-field survey made at 34.5 MHz using GEETEE,1 the low frequency telescope at Gauribidanur (latitude
13°36′12′′N). This telescope was used in the transit mode and by per forming 1-D synthesis along the north-south direction
the entire observable sky was mapped in a single day. This minimized the problems that hinder wide-field low-frequency mapping.
This survey covers the declination range of-50° to + 70° (- 33° to +61° without aliasing) and the complete 24 hours of right
ascension. The synthesized beam has a resolution of 26′ x 42′ sec (δ- 14°. 1). The sensitivity of the survey is 5 Jy/beam (1σ). Special care has been taken to ensure that the antenna responds
to all angular scale structures and is suitable for studies of both point sources and extended objects
This telescope is jointly operated by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore and the Roman Research Institute, Bangalore. |
