Abstract

Core share and HTML view are not available for this content. However, as you have access to this content, a full PDF is available via the ‘Save PDF’ action button.

The time is ripe for planning an array with a collecting area of 1 km2 (14 times larger than Arecibo and 75 times larger than the VLA). In view of its major astronomical target I have dubbed this concept ‘The Hydrogen Array’, although 1μJy continuum sources will also be reliably detected. I present some initial thoughts about the issues involved.
