Proposal Title: A Pilot Study for the GALFA Continuum Transit Survey
ABSTRACT:
This proposal requests time to carry out a pilot study for the GALFA Continuum Transit Survey (GALFACTS). It
is submitted on behalf of the GALFA Continuum science subconsortium. The scienti c motivation for GALFACTS
focuses heavily on exploiting polarimetric observations and measurements of Faraday Rotation to probe the
magneto-ionic medium in the disk and halo of the Galaxy. This proposal will test the observing plan for
GALFACTS. The observations and the data will be used to assess the success of the observing strategy, measure
the e ects of instrumental systematics on the scienti c results and to develop processing and analysis algorithms.
The region chosen for observations contains polarized signals from both a background point source and the
distributed Faraday Screen, and will provide not only a rigorous test of these aspects of GALFACTS, but also a
scienti c investigation of lamentary structures in the Faraday screen.
