摘要
本白皮书总结了利用泰国国家射电望远镜（TNRT）可实现的潜在重点科学课题。其调试阶段已于 2022 年中启动。重点科学课题包括“脉冲星与快速射电暴（FRBs）”“恒星形成区（SFRs）”“星系与活动星系核（AGNs）”“演化恒星”“化学特殊（CP）恒星的射电辐射”以及“大地测量”，覆盖 L/C/X/Ku/K/Q/W 波段（1–115 GHz）的宽频观测。作为单碟设备，TNRT 凭借其敏捷观测系统与灵活运行，是探索时域天文学的理想工具。得益于优越地理区位，TNRT 将显著增强甚长基线干涉（VLBI）阵列，如东亚 VLBI 网（EAVN）、澳大利亚长基线阵（LBA）、欧洲 VLBI 网（EVN），尤其通过提供独特天区覆盖改善完整“uv”覆盖，降低旁瓣、提升合成波束与成像质量。本文档凸显 TNRT 在单碟模式及与 VLBI 阵列协作下可达成的重点科学课题。
