ALFALFA

The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey


  • ALFALFA Fall 2006: Plans and Status
  • Observations in the R.A. range from 22h to 3h in Fall 2005 targeted the tiles centered at +26 and +30 degrees. Our first priority in Fall 2006 was to complete the region fully from +24 to +32 degrees, filling in the gaps remaining from 2005. We (more or less) accomplished that objective. We also completed (more or less) coverage of the +12 degree tile, but did not make as much headway as planned on the +6 degree one.

    Yellow indicates planned observations in pass 1.
    Green indicates completed observations in pass 1.
    Gold indicates planned observations in pass 2.
    Cyan indicates completed observations in pass 2.
    Brown indicates poor quality data (hardware failure, gain instability or unusual rfi)
    Pink indicates the area to be covered next (may not be completed in 2006, but we hope to cover as much as possible)

    Note that the schedule displayed here is only approximate and may not correspond exactly to actual blocks of recorded data.
