  4. IRAM- MPIfR 1.3mm array Current Bolometer Arrays in the Submillimetre Timeline: 1988 1996 1997 1998 JCMT-SCUBA 350/450 & 750/850mm JCMT-UKT14 350mm-2mm CSO-SHARC 350 mm array Retired in 1996 Number of pixels: 1 20 91/37 37 Sensitivity (Jy/Hz): 5-0.5 1 0.6/0.08 0.06

  5. Utilise the large field-of-view of JCMT to open-up new fields of study 2 Why do we need SCUBA-2? • New technologies  Larger format arrays • Increase scientific productivity of telescope • Maximise the returns with impending arrival of SMA link and heterodyne arrays • Keep the JCMT at the forefront of submm continuum astronomy

  6. Mapping speed >100 times that of SCUBA 2 Next generation : “SCUBA-2” • Per-pixel sensitivity Goal is for 50% better than SCUBA • Dual-wavelength imaging Operation at 450 and 850m • Image fidelity and map dynamic range Full-sampling of the image plane

  7. 2 LMT-BOLOCAM 1.1mm CSO-BOLOCAM 1.4mm Future Bolometer Arrays in the Submillimetre Timeline: 1999 Timeline: 1999 2001 2003 2004 2007+ JCMT-SCUBA 350/450 & 750/850mm SOFIA-HAWC 200mm FIRST- SPIRE 250, 350, 450mm SIRTF-MIPS 160mm CSO-SHARC-II 350/450 JCMT-SCUBA2 450/850mm SCUBA+ (JCMT) Bolocam (CSO) MIPS (SIRTF) HAWC (SOFIA) SHARC-II (CSO) Bolocam (LMT) SCUBA-2 (JCMT) SPIRE (FIRST) 91/37 pixels 400/65 mJy 40 160 384 600 151 3 144 40 384 560 512/1152/2048 ~40 22500/6500 210/50

  8. Field-of-view of current and future arrays Current Future Wavelength : 200 300 400 500 700 900 1200 2000 (microns)

  9. Large-scale extragalactic surveys • Plot source detection rate as a function of 5- depth • SCUBA-2 will detect ~20 sources per hour at optimum depth • SCUBA-2 has comparable mapping speed to a compact ALMA • Space-borne instruments become confusion noise limited • Dual wavelength capability of SCUBA-2 will give insights on dust spectra Simulation based on “modified Gaussian model” (Blain 1999)

  10. Debris disks - the state of the game... e.g. HST KECK JCMT/SCUBA Detected but too far away to image...

  11. 2 Debris dust disks SCUBA-2 impact: • Help answer one of the fundamental Origins questions: Are these the disks from which planets are made? • SCUBA-2 mapping speed:  30  faster to map to the same S/N • Improved map dynamic range: Should allow higher resolution imaging at 450m • Only a small sample studied so far… More than 20 other systems nearby that could be imaged...

  12. Unbiased Galactic Surveys 850m SCUBA ~10 arcmins SCUBA-2 450m SCUBA Survey of the Galactic Centre (Pierce-Price et al. in prep)

  13. Galactic Centre Full moon SCUBA Galactic Centre Survey M8 ~ 10 shifts (or 80 hrs) of telescope time M16 SCUBA-2 Galactic PLANE Survey?

  14. 2 Unbiased Galactic Surveys • Scientific goals: Complete census of giant molecular clouds, star- forming regions, protostars, pre-stellar cores etc. • Mapping speed improvement: ~300 times faster to map to the same S/N Entire clouds can be mapped in only a few hours... • Increased sensitivity and map dynamic range: Source counts and the initial mass function Spectral index maps from dual-wavelength imaging • SCUBA-2 Galactic Plane survey would become a reality...

  15. Large-scale surveys and galaxy clustering • Shows positions of luminous dusty starburst galaxies tracing the large-scale structure at early epochs • Large sample sizes (~5000) can test theories of structure formation • SCUBA-2 can carry out large, sensitive and unbiased surveys in modest amounts of time ~ 1 arcmin CDM simulation at z ~ 3 (Governato et al. Nature 1999)

  16. 2 Large-scale extragalactic surveys • Scientific goals: Unbiased surveys of different sizes and depths for studying the formation of massive galaxies • Mapping speed improvement: Source count detection increases by > 100 times Large samples spanning ranges of flux and redshift • Increased sensitivity: Point-sources can be measured much more quickly • Dual wavelength imaging/photometry: Provide unique insights on dust spectra

  17. 2 Polarimetry with SCUBA-2 • Example: OMC3 molecular cloud - a highly ordered field crossing the filament • Science impact: Generally recognised that magnetic fields play an important role in star formation • Data consists of ~400 vectors which needed 5 shifts of SCUBA/JCMT time • Main SCUBA limitation: Undersampled field leads to systematic errors in polarisation images • Large field-of-view: Large-scale fields to be mapped very quickly OMC3 (Matthews & Wilson in press) • Improved sensitivity: Lower polarised flux limits to study magnetic fields in pre- stellar cores and nearby galaxies e.g. M51 could be mapped to p  0.5% in ~10hrs

  18. 2 Summary • SCUBA-2 mapping speed >100 times faster than SCUBA • For point-source work there is a significant speed advantage • Image fidelity will improve as a result of the instantaneously fully-sampled image plane • Many science areas that will benefit from this unique facility instrument

  22. 2 2 Pixel Details • An 8  8 arcmin field, fully-sampling the image plane:  6,500 pixels at 850m and 22,500 at 450m • Increase in mapping speed >> 100 at both wavelengths • Physical dimensions of array: • For final optics of f/2.5 the arrays are ~120mm in diameter
