500米口径球面射电望远镜(FAST)主要应用目标概述

Introduction to Main Application Goals of Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope

  • 摘要: 500米口径球面射电望远镜(Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope, FAST)已完成建设,调试与试运行以来发现超过100颗新脉冲星,于2020年1月通过国家验收。作为世界最大和最灵敏的单口径射电望远镜,FAST为众多科学发现提供了前所未有的机遇。在国家重大需求方面,FAST具有重要的应用价值。本文对FAST的主要应用目标进行了研讨,包括在深空探测方面,FAST将把我国空间测控能力提升至太阳系外缘;在脉冲星自主导航方面,FAST将大幅提升脉冲星脉冲到达时间的测量精度,建成国际领先的高精度脉冲星计时阵,进行空间飞行器的自主导航;FAST作为非相干散射雷达的接收系统,将提供高分辨率和高效率的地面观测;利用FAST进行高分辨率微波巡视,可以识别微弱的空间信号,为搜寻地外理性生命和国家安全服务。随着FAST的正式运行,它将在推动应用课题研究方面发挥重大作用。

     

    Abstract: The main structure of Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST)has been completed. Till now, more than 100 new pulsars have been detected by FAST during the commissioning and test observation stage, and the project passed the national review in January 2020. Being the largest and most sensitive single-dish radio telescope, FAST will enable scientists to jump-start many science cases. Meanwhile, FAST have several application goals described in this paper. For instance, in deep space exploration, FAST will improve the ability of space measurement and control to the edge of the Solar System. Moreover, FAST will increase the measurement accuracy of the time of arrival for the pulsar to 30 ns and develop the most accurate pulsar timing array, which will work for autonomous navigation. FAST could be the receiving system of the incoherent scattering radar, providing the ground-based observation with high resolution and efficiency. By carrying out microware survey to detect weak space signals, FAST might work for the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence(SETI)and national security. After the formal operation, FAST will make significant contributions to these important application goals.
