When the immense Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico collapsed in 2020, it left gaping holes in astronomy. Now, a team from the California Institute of Technology hopes to address some of the gaps with a very different instrument.
. Now, a team from the California Institute of Technology hopes to address some of the gaps with a very different instrument: a tightly packed array of relatively inexpensive radio dishes that aims to quickly image radio sources across wide swaths of the sky. A nearly completed prototype array in California that the team calls a “radio camera” is already locating dozens of the distant, enigmatic eruptions called fast radio bursts .
To gain sensitivity, radio astronomers can build big dishes like Arecibo or arrays of smaller dishes. But in most such arrays, the dishes are widely spaced, which sharpens their resolution but creates “a data deluge problem,” says Caltech’s Gregg Hallinan, DSA principal investigator .
, coming from all over the sky. Several thousand have been detected, but little more than a dozen have been traced to their home galaxies, which might hold clues to what is powering the bursts. DSA-110 aims to localize many more. If a burst is detected, data from the outrigger dishes allow the telescope to zoom in and pin the FRB to its galaxy.
