Proposal Title: | An H-alpha Imaging Survey for a Volume-Limited Sample of ALFALFA Sources |
Project Leader: | John Salzer |
Institution: | Wesleyan University |
Other Co-Authors (if any): | Wesleyan students (TBD); other collaborators welcome |
Time frame: | Ongoing, but expect useful results within first 1.5-2 years |
Publication expected: | First results paper would be submitted Fall, 2007 or Spring, 2008. Data papers to follow closely. |
ALFALFA region: | TBD, exact location farily arbitrary (can pick to piggy back with other projects) |
ALFALFA data to be used: | ALFALFA catalog |
Other data sets to be used: | H-alpha imaging, obtained at WIYN 0.9-m telescope |
Products to be delivered: | Archive of continuum-subtracted H-alpha images, plus tabulation of H-alpha fluxes. |
Milestone | Description | Goal | Status |
---|---|---|---|
Team assembly | Recruit collaborators from among H-alpha groups where overlap is possible | Jan 2006 |   |
Data acquisition | Observe | Spring 2006 -- |   |
Data processing | Just that.... | Complete within 6 months of completion of the observations |   |
Prelim. Results | After 3 or 4 semesters, assuming a fair return from the observations | 1 Jun 2008 |   |
Data Release | Data placed in ALFALFA archive on regular basis | Public release as agreed by rest of collaboration |   |
