Completion of GALFACTS Observations

This proposal request time for the last 20% of observations to complete the GALFA Continuum Transit Survey (GALFACTS). GALFACTS, a spectro-polarimetric continuum survey of the whole Arecibo sky, provides the most sensitive imaging to date of polarized radiation over almost one third of the celestial sphere, while the high-spectra resolution, full-Stokes cubes enable Faraday rotation synthesis to be applied to both diffuse emission and a high-density grid of discrete compact sources. GALFACTS is a ma jor observational advance in imaging the polarized radiation from both the Milky Way and the extragalactic universe for exploration of the origin and evolution of cosmic magnetism. It provides a rich new database for exploration of the magnetic field of the Galaxy, the properties of the magneto-ionic medium, the polarization properties of a vast number of extragalactic sources, and of intergalactic fields.
