| « The Deep Synoptic Array: Revolutionizing Access to the Radio Sky » |
|
Casey Law |
| The Deep Synoptic Array is a revolutionary radio telescope funded for construction in eastern Nevada, USA. The DSA is a radio interferometer optimized for surveys that will detect a billion radio sources over a 5 year, multi-epoch survey program. This is made possible by deploying 1650 antennas integrated with a GPU-powered digital backend that functions as a 'radio camera’. Commensal instrumentation will simultaneously generate over 12,000 spectro-polarimetric images from 0.7 to 2 GHz, discover tens of thousands of new pulsars and fast radio bursts, and time hundreds of millisecond pulsars as precision probes of gravitational waves. I will present a status update on the design and construction of the DSA, including updates from pathfinding work with the DSA-110 and OVRO-LWA telescopes. The DSA will see first light in 2029 and will have fully public data with no proprietary period. The project has begun collaborating on science definition with the European astronomy community and is opening new opportunities to collaborate. |
