1 Deep, wide-field global VLBI observations of HDF-N Deep, wide-field global VLBI observations of HDF-N Seungyoup Chi Kapteyn Institute (RuG) / JIVE Collaborators : M. A. Garrett, P. D. Barthel et al. 8th EVN Symposium 2006 Torun, Poland, 26-29 September 2006

2 Contents Introduction to HDF Previous results (MERLIN and EVN) New Global VLBI observations VLA J123642+621331 – starburst / AGN ? Other detections in HDF-N Summary and Future work

3 Hubble Deep Field North (HDF-N) 10 days of HST time Imaged 2.5' × 2.5' of sky Depth (I-band) : ~ 28 mag. High resolution : ~ 40 mas Flanking fields : ~ 25 mag. Follow-up observations - Sub-mm, IR, X-ray, Radio, Ground-based opt. imaging, Spectroscopy… Richards et al. 1998

4 Previous results in HDF-N MERLIN+VLA 1.4 GHz obs. (Muxlow et al. 2005) - 10-arcmin field - 92 radio source (S 1.4 > 40 μJy) - noise level ~ 3.3 μJy/beam

5 Previous results in HDF-N EVN 1.6 GHz obs. (Garrett et al. 2001) - 6 (MERLIN) targets - noise level ~ 30 μJy/beam (in dirty maps) - 3 detections

6 Global VLBI observation Observation : 20 ~ 22 February 2004 (3 × 12 hrs.) 2 x 8 MHz (RR, LL), 2-bit samples [128 Mbps recording rate] EVN disk recording; VLBA on tape. 16 telescope array including 100-m Greenbank and Effelsberg telescopes, plus 76-m Lovell telescope. Frequency : 1.4 GHz  Max. Angular resolution : ~ 4 mas (in HDF-N), increasing taper in HFF. Data Correlated at JIVE: Correlator running at full throttle… Each (1 x 8 MHz) polarisation channel correlated in a separate pass in order to maximise spectral resolution (minimise bandwidth smearing) Wide-field approach and techniques used to image out entire HDF-N and HFFs  Total data size : ~ 800 Gbytes (3 epochs, 6 Ifs, 256 sp ch/IF; 0.25 second int. time) Images from each IF are co-added together. Image Noise level: for a single IF ~ 17 μJy/beam for all 6 Ifs (full data set) reaching ~ 7.3 μJy/ beam in HDF-N (larger in HFF).
