... Arecibo L-Band Feed Array . ... AGES is a sub-group of the Extragalactic ALFA (EALFA) consortium. ... AGES is a compromise between the larger-scale, but much less sensitive ALFALFA (drift mapping) and the deeper AUDS (drift-and-chase) surveys. ... Modified 'Leapfrog' - Again, a variant of this mode will be used by the PALFA consortia (see a discussion of tiling modes here ). ... Current status of AGES: . ... Study by Spitzak Schneider (1998) using 'leapfrog' mode with Arecibo L-Band Wide receiver. ...
... 2.3 Data acquisition Spectra generated by the Multibeam correlator contain the usual structure seen in spectra from other H i instruments: a bandpass spectrum which is the sum of the sky , ground and receiver temperatures multiplied by the product of the filters in the receiver chain; superimposed on this is a noise ... Note also that sources extended much beyond ,40 arcmin can be imaged poorly in HIPASS images because of the bandpass sidelobe effect described in Section 3.3. ...
