The roles of the new 30 – 50 m class single dish telescope: (1) deep & wide continuum imaging Deep and wide surveys at short-millimeter to long- submillimeter wavelengths –Target frequency range: 70 – 420 GHz (4.3 – 0.71 mm) Option (under illumination): up to ~1.2 THz (250μm) ??? –Wide field of view: 0.5 deg diameter (circular) >> ALMA –Equipped with large format arrays to fill FoV a few 1,000 – a few 100,000 pixels per band x 4 ~ 6 bands? “mm-submm version Suprime-Cam” –Greater survey efficiency than ALMA !!!
Survey efficiency: New 30-50m vs ALMA 1.1mm (270 GHz) 1.2 million pointings (!!) will be needed for ALMA/Band 6 to fully cover a 10-deg 2 region. D=35mD=50m (option) By Yoichi Tamura A deep survey of 10deg 2 area using 500 hours. Bandwidth: 8 GHz for ALMA 50 GHz for 35/50m Num. of pixels 1 for ALMA > 10^4 for 35/50m !
The roles of the new 30 – 50 m class single dish telescope: (2) ultra-wide band & multi-pixel spectroscopy Wide area, spectral surveys at short-millimeter to long-submillimeter wavelengths –Specification on the instantaneous bandwidth and the number of pixels is under discussion. A case study: CO tomography assuming D = 50m, instantaneous coverage = 70 – 346 GHz, dual polarization, 1000 pixels (Y. Tamura et al.) (very challenging, more study!) Large instantaneous bandwidth (>a few 10 GHz; cf. 8 GHz in ALMA) and/or large number of pixels (> a few 10 – 100; cf. single pixel in ALMA) will be crucial.
