Double Trouble: ASKAP Early Science using Radio Galaxies Lawrence Rudnick, University of Minnesota
CR origins in radio galaxies: in the AGN? or in situ ? (a vs. z) RG environments + small scale Galactic structure Deep+wideband+polarization ~30mJy,800sq deg 700-1800 More science using subsamples This is single project from large survey Feasible with JVLA only: NVSS level investment HOT! HOT 102.X – 3 hr Outcomes: low risk No Use of all bands
DeBrueck + 2000 Why a vs. z*? Intrinsic (AGN) vs. Environment 1. Cosmic Ray origins BUT, environments messy, so look at a1vs. a2 Ly a *Not a K-correction (Kamer ++)
2. RG environments (Faraday) + Galactic small scale structure RG local Intervening Galactic L. Rudnick, Shea Brown, Caitlin Johnson (still! In prep) Using NVSS, Taylor, Stil, Sundstrom
Defining a sample of double radio galaxies (DRGs) DRG RP and Random Pairs(RPs)
Two lobes do “know” about each other (somewhat) ± 100 rad/m2 RM1 Foreground stretching RM2 ± 100 rad/m2 ROTATION MEASURE FRACTIONAL POLARIZATION
Some numbers … (tentative!!) • To determine a(< ± 0.1), need ~ 1.2 mJy • ~ 140/sq. deg (< 1’-0.5’ pairs, ~ 7-14 / sq. deg) 7-14,000 sources in 1000 sq. deg survey • For RM, need ~0.3 mJy (P) 3.5 mJy I (@8.4%) • ~ 30/sq deg. (< 1’-0.5’ pairs, ~ 1.5-3 / sq. deg) 1500-3000 sources in 1000 sq. deg survey
