All (Arecibo) Sky Survey
·Reaching <=6 mJy/beam


All (Arecibo) Sky Survey
·Requires ~6-12 s/beam ·Drive at 2-3 times drift mode ·Drive in R.A., step in Dec ·Need repeated scans across each beam ·Need to further test stability for driven scans and to test for daytime observing ·Full Arecibo sky would take 1000-??? hours

ZOA
·Local, large-scale structure ·Want to reach at least M* at 100 pc ·Possibly also including more distant survey ·Positional accuracy is critical ·Double drift scan with nyquist sampling ·700 hours observation for entire Milky Way !~5 mJy with 5 km/s resolution ·Must be compared with results from upcoming Parkes ZOA survey


Proposed Surveys

Deep Strip Survey
Trace the HIMF to at least 1 magnitude less than previous surveys
(10 = 107Mo at 10Mpc)

Trace the HIMF across a variety of environments


Deep Strip Survey
·50-100 MHz (depending on RFI) ·4096-8192 channels/ 2 Polarizations ·Cross-correlation preferred but 9-level sampling is enough Total of 600-700 hours


Deep Strip Survey
·1o x 300o strip, 80s/beam ·Drift Scan mode, stepping by 1 beam to provide uniform sensitivity ·Nighttime observations may be desired ·No declination chosen yet Total of 600-700 hours


Very Deep Survey
How Does the Density of Cool Gas evolve with time?
· Models, based on multi- observations, (Madau plots etc), predict gas(1+z)3.2 at low-z (Pei & Fall 1999). · Damped Ly- absorption lines suggest dNDLA/dz = 0.05(1+z)1.1, implying NO intrinsic evolution of >2x1020 cm-2 absorbers - i.e. constant co-moving gas density (StorrieLombardi & Wolfe 2000).
