BISTRO: B-fields In STar-forming Region Observations
초록
We introduce a magnetic field survey of the Gould Belt clouds using the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) POL-2: B-fields In STar-forming Region Observations (BISTRO). POL-2 with SCUBA-2 on JCMT is a unique facility, as it is the only facility world-wide that can map the magnetic field within cold dense cores and filaments on scales of ~1000 AU in nearby star-forming regions, such as Taurus and Ophiuchus. It can provide a link between the B-field measured on arc-minute scales by Planck and BLASTPOL and measurements made on arc-second scales by interferometers such as CARMA, SMA, and ALMA. BISTRO was awarded 224 hours toward 16 fields for the next 3 years and started to take data in the 2016A semester.
