The high-frequency upgrade of the Sardinia Radio Telescope
We present the status of the Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT) and its forthcoming update planned in the next few years. The post-process scenario of the upgraded infrastructure will allow the national and international scientific community to use the SRT for the study of the Universe at high radio frequencies (up to 116 GHz), both in single dish and in interferometric mode. A telescope like SRT, operating at high frequencies, represents a unique resource for the scientific community. The telescope will be ideal for mapping quickly and with relatively high angular resolution extended radio emissions characterized by low surface brightness. It will also be essential for spectroscopic and polarimetric studies of both Galactic and extragalactic radio sources. With the use of the interferometric technique, SRT and the other Italian antennas (Medicina and Noto) will operate within the national and international radiotelescope network, allowing astronomers to obtain images of radio sources at very high angular resolution
Status of the High-Frequency Upgrade of the Sardinia Radio Telescope
The Sardinia Radio Telescope is going
through a major upgrade aimed at observing the
universe at up to 116 GHz. A budget of 18.700.000 E
has been awarded to the Italian National Institute of
Astrophysics to acquire new state-of-the-art receivers,
back-end, and high-performance computing, to develop
a sophisticated metrology system and to upgrade the
infrastructure and laboratories. This contribution draws
the status of the whole project at eight months from the
end of the funding scheme planned for August 2022
A multi-element psychosocial intervention for early psychosis (GET UP PIANO TRIAL) conducted in a catchment area of 10 million inhabitants: study protocol for a pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial
Multi-element interventions for first-episode psychosis (FEP) are promising, but have mostly been conducted in non-epidemiologically representative samples, thereby raising the risk of underestimating the complexities involved in treating FEP in 'real-world' services
