March 23, 2007 MEMORANDUM To: ALFA Survey Principal Investigators From: R. L. Brown Subject: Scheduling the Surveys in the Post-Senior Review Era As you know, it is the NAIC plan to make substantial changes in the science operations model of the Arecibo Observatory in response to the recommendations of the NSF Astronomy senior review. ... Final approval of the telescope schedule, every telescope schedule, is the responsibility of Bob Kerr, the Observatory director. ...
The Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA) is a seven feed system that will allow large-scale surveys of the sky to be conducted with unprecedented sensitivity using the 305-m Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico. The NAIC Arecibo Observatory telescope, operated by Cornell University for the National Science Foundation, is the largest and most sensitive single dish radio telescope in the world and is used to study large numbers of sources that are too faint to be seen with other telescopes. ...
PRELIMINARY DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS (from Consortium Time -Exercise activity) SUMMARY Given the Senior Review (SR) dictum for spending 80% of available astronomical hours on ALFA surveys, about 1000 hours of telescope time are available in principle to each consortium per year , before sidereal time requirements are factored in. g-ALFA has a smaller time request of order 2500 hours or ~625 hours per year if over 4 years (or ~835 ...
... the New Observer . The E-ALFA Consortium . ... Since the installation of ALFA, extragalactic HI astronomy with Arecibo has entered a new phase. ... The reason behind the change is that ALFA allows Arecibo to carry out surveys, covering large areas of sky rapidly and with unprecedented sensitivity. ... The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey is covering 7000 sq. deg. of sky at high galactic latitude with an integration time of 48 s/beam. ... Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey (ALFALFA) . ...
