论文摘要
对于低于10 MHz的频率,对射电天文宇宙知之甚少,因为这种辐射没有穿透电离层。 1--10 MHz带的基于立方体的天文台可以在低地球轨道上迅速和经济部署。当被地球屏蔽不到太阳发射时,它可能会观察到弱极性系统来源。我们考虑可能的瞬态和稳定来源,以及用于研究电离层本身的应用。
Little is known about the radio astronomical universe at frequencies below 10 MHz because such radiation does not penetrate the ionosphere. A cubesat-based observatory for the 1--10 MHz band could be rapidly and economically deployed in low earth orbit. When shielded by the Earth from Solar emission, it could observe weak extra-Solar System sources. We consider possible transient and steady sources, and application to study of the ionosphere itself.
