2 Jul 2007 | | Abstract: | This paper describes a James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) legacy survey
that has been awarded roughly 500 hrs of observing time to be carried out from
2007 to 2009. In this survey we will map with SCUBA-2 (Submillimetre Common
User Bolometer Array 2) almost all of the well-known low-mass and
intermediate-mass star-forming regions within 0.5 kpc that are accessible from
the JCMT. Most of these locations are associated with the Gould Belt. From
these observations we will produce a flux-limited snapshot of star formation
near the Sun, providing a legacy of images, as well as point-source and
extended-source catalogues, over almost 700 square degrees of sky. The
resulting images will yield the first catalogue of prestellar and protostellar
sources selected by submillimetre continuum emission, and should increase the
number of known sources by more than an order of magnitude. We will also obtain
CO maps with the array receiver HARP (Heterodyne Array Receiver Programme), in
three CO isotopologues, of a large typical sample of prestellar and
protostellar sources. We will then map the brightest hundred sources with the
SCUBA-2 polarimeter (POL-2), producing the first statistically significant set
of polarization maps in the submillimetre. The images and source catalogues
will be a powerful reference set for astronomers, providing a detailed legacy
archive for future telescopes, including ALMA, Herschel and JWST. | | Source: | arXiv, arxiv.0707.0169 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
