Black Hole

Lensing of space time around a black hole. At Oxford we study black holes observationally and theoretically on all size and time scales - it is some of our core work.

The C-Band All-Sky Survey: Instrument design, status, and first-look data

Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 7741 (2010)

Authors:

OG King, C Copley, R Davies, R Davis, C Dickinson, YA Hafez, C Holler, JJ John, JL Jonas, ME Jones, JP Leahy, SJC Muchovej, TJ Pearson, ACS Readhead, MA Stevenson, AC Taylor

Abstract:

The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS) aims to produce sensitive, all-sky maps of diffuse Galactic emission at 5 GHz in total intensity and linear polarization. These maps will be used (with other surveys) to separate the several astrophysical components contributing to microwave emission, and in particular will allow an accurate map of synchrotron emission to be produced for the subtraction of foregrounds from measurements of the polarized Cosmic Microwave Background. We describe the design of the analog instrument, the optics of our 6.1 m dish at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory, the status of observations, and first-look data. © 2010 SPIE.

A 33 GHz VSA survey of the Galactic plane from 27 to 46 degrees

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Oxford University Press (OUP) (2010)

M Todorović, RD Davies, C Dickinson, RJ Davis, KA Cleary, R Genova-Santos, KJB Grainge, YA Hafez, MP Hobson, ME Jones, K Lancaster, R Rebolo, W Reich, JA Rubiño-Martin, RDE Saunders, RS Savage, PF Scott, A Slosar, AC Taylor, RA Watson

Abstract:

The Very Small Array (VSA) has been used to survey the l = 27 to 46 deg, |b|<4 deg region of the Galactic plane at a resolution of 13 arcmin. The survey consists of 44 pointings of the VSA, each with a r.m.s. sensitivity of ~90 mJy/beam. These data are combined in a mosaic to produce a map of the area. The majority of the sources within the map are HII regions. We investigated anomalous radio emission from the warm dust in 9 HII regions of the survey by making spectra extending from GHz frequencies to the FIR IRAS frequencies. Acillary radio data at 1.4, 2.7, 4.85, 8.35, 10.55, 14.35 and 94 GHz in addition to the 100, 60, 25 and 12 micron IRAS bands were used to construct the spectra. From each spectrum the free-free, thermal dust and anomalous dust emission were determined for each HII region. The mean ratio of 33 GHz anomalous flux density to FIR 100 micron flux density for the 9 selected HII regions was 1.10 +/-0.21x10^(-4). When combined with 6 HII regions previously observed with the VSA and the CBI, the anomalous emission from warm dust in HII regions is detected with a 33 GHz emissivity of 4.65 +/- 0.4 micro K/ (MJy/sr) at 11.5{\sigma}. The anomalous radio emission in HII regions is on average 41+/-10 per cent of the radio continuum at 33 GHz.
