ALFALFA

The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey

  • ALFALFA Fall Semester 2008: Completed Observations

    • Having lost the entire Fall 2007 observing season because of the major telescope painting project, our objective in 2008 has been to complete a contiguous area between about +6 and +16 degrees Dec. We have just about made it, with a few small gaps which we will live with, when the "fall" season ended on January 14, 2009.

    Several ALFALFA datasets are complete and have been published; see the links to Publications and Data above.

    The graphical summaries below indicate the A2010 coverage up to and including the fall 2008 observing season.

    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
