Fiducial parameters of the BINGO telescope.
| Parameters | BINGO |
|---|---|
| Frequency range | [980, 1260] MHz |
| Redshift range | [0.127, 0.449] |
| Number of frequency channels (a) | 30 |
| Number of feed horns | 28 |
| Sky coverage with Galactic mask (b) | 2900 deg2 |
| Observational time (tobs) | 1 year |
| System temperature (Tsys) | 70 K |
| Beam resolution (θFWHM) | 40 arcmin |
Notes.
According to BINGO’s instrument paper (Wuensche et al. 2022), the actual number of frequency channels is much larger than considered here. Our value takes into account a smoothing in the raw data for cosmological analysis.
If we consider the sky coverage with the horns moving ±30 cm and a mask that removes about 20% of the sky, the area effectively covered can be increased to about 4000 square degrees (Abdalla et al. 2022b).
