ISTITUTO DI RADIOASTRONOMIA
INAF
STATUS REPORT
October 2007

Chapter 1. STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION
The Istituto di Radioastronomia (IRA) is presently the only INAF structure with divisions
distributed over the national territory. Such an organization came about because IRA was
originally a part of the National Council of Research (CNR), which imposed the first of its
own reforms in 2001. The transition from CNR to INAF began in 2004 and was
completed on January 1st , 2005.
The Institute has its headquarters in Bologna in the CNR campus area, and two divisions in
Firenze and Noto. The Medicina station belongs to the Bologna headquarters. A fourth
division is foreseen in Cagliari at the Sardinia Radiotelescope site.
The IRA operates 3 radio telescopes: the Northern Cross Radio Telescope (Medicina), and
two 32-m dishes (Medicina and Noto), which are used primarily for Very Long Baseline
Interferometry (VLBI) observations. The IRA leads the construction of the Sardinia Radio
Telescope (SRT), a 64-m dish of new design. This is one of the INAF large projects
nowadays.
The aims of the Institute comprise:
- the pursuit of excellence in many research areas ranging from observational radio
astronomy, both galactic and extragalactic, to cosmology, to geodesy and Earth studies;
- the design and management of the Italian radio astronomical facilities;
- the design and fabrication of instrumentation operating in bands from radio to infrared
and visible.
Main activities of the various sites include:
Bologna: The headquarters are responsible for the institute management and act as
interface with the INAF central headquarters in Roma. Much of the astronomical research
is done in Bologna, with major areas in cosmology, extragalactic astrophysics, star
formation and geodesy. IRA-Bologna has strong interactions with the local University and
is an important facility for educational activities at medium (master degrees) and high
(PhD) levels. Computer science is also an important part of the activity at the Institute.
Medicina: The radio astronomy station is directly associated with Bologna headquarters. It
hosts the Northern Cross and the 32-m VLBI radio telescope, and houses the core of
laboratories for the development of radio astronomy instrumentation and of SRT.
Firenze: The division is hosted by the Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri. IRA-Firenze is
involved with the design and development of radio and infrared technology, including the
participation in the international projects ALMA and Herschel. Much research is also
conducted at Firenze, including extragalactic astrophysics and star formation.
Noto: This division manages the second 32-m VLBI radio telescope. The staff is also
involved in the development of technological instrumentation. The scientific staff is
limited to only 2 people, with interest in the radio emission of evolved stars, in addition to
extragalactic studies.
Cagliari: In the context of the SRT project, when the Istituto di Radioastronomia still
belonged to the CNR, some permanent staff was recruited by the CNR to form the core of
3
the future division at the Sardinia Radiotelescope site. With the transition of IRA to INAF,
the Cagliari personnel (6 people including 5 scientists and 1 technician) was temporarily
assigned to the Osservatorio di Cagliari (for 3 years, until 31 December 2008). Therefore,
these people are not considered as IRA staff in this document.
IRA participates in several international Consortia: in 1988 it contributed to the
establishment of the "European Consortium for VLBI in Europe" together with Max-
Planck-Institut fuer Radioastronomie (D), Jodrell Bank (UK), Onsala (S), Westerbork
(NL), to provide the scientific community with observing time within the interferometric
network formed by the radio telescopes of each institution (on a peer-review basis). Later
the Consortium was open to other radio astronomy institutes from countries including
Poland, Spain, France, China, Finland, and others. In 1995 the Consortium decided to
create an International Institute, the "Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe" (JIVE), with the
financial support of the EC and of the research Agencies from the participating countries.
The IRA was among the protagonists in the management of JIVE, in recognition of the
importance of its International nature and great impact. JIVE manages the VLBI correlator
and provides support to astronomers and the Telescope Network.
IRA is part of the international VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS) which
coordinates geodetic observations.
Together with other ten countries (Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India, Netherlands,
Poland, Sweden, United Kingdom, and United States) IRA signed the first Memorandum
of Understanding to establish the International Square Kilometre Array Steering
Committee (ISSC), on August 2000, at the International Astronomical Union meeting in
Manchester (England). This was superseded by a Memorandum of Agreement to
Collaborate in the Development of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which became
operational on January 1st, 2005. The Italian representative is now INAF. IRA/INAF is
partner of the EC proposals SKADS (FP6) aimed at developing a design study for SKA,
and is partner of PrepSKA, an EC (FP7) proposal to integrate the R&D work from around
the globe in order to develop the fully-costed design of SKA.
IRA has been involved for many years in major space and ground projects, related to radio
and optical-IR techniques. Beside the realization of the Sardinia Radio Telescope, the
institute contributes to the management, design and instrument development of the ESA
project Herschel, of the future large ground-based interferometers ALMA, LOFAR and
SKA. IRA is partner of projects funded by the EC (FP6) for the technology and scientific
developments including FARADAY, SKADS, EXPReS, ESTRELA, RadioNet, MCCT-
SKADS. The Institute is currently actively involved in the preparation of the FP7 proposal
for RadioNet.
On behalf of INAF, IRA-Bologna hosts the Italian ALMA Regional Center.

Chapter 2. RESEARCH PROGRAMS
The research programs of IRA are extensively described at the institute web pages
(http://www.ira.inaf.it/inaf_ira/Research.html) and reported in Annex 1. IRA scientists
collaborate with other Italian and International research institutions as well as with Italian
and foreign universities. In the following a summary is given with emphasis on the
relevant achievements, instruments used and future prospects. For the detailed description
of the topics, see Annex 1. The site where most of the research is performed is indicated in
parentheses.
Surveys and observational cosmology (Bologna). The institute is involved in many
survey projects in the framework of large international collaborations. In particular, IRA
has a long-standing tradition in radio surveys since the pioneering work with the Northern
Cross in the early seventies which produced the B2 catalog, with about 10,000 sources at
408 MHz. Nowadays, IRA is involved in surveys carried out in the radio, optical and X-
ray bands. Large sky surveys at all wavelengths are of fundamental importance to
astronomy. Complete, unbiased surveys provide a description of the general properties of
celestial objects, and are necessary tools to build well defined samples of different classes
of objects to be used for cosmological studies. The observation and analysis of deep radio
fields performed at IRA have allowed the characterization of the sub-mJy and µJy
populations, responsible for the flattening of normalized counts at 1.4 GHz, and the
characterization of large scale structure using data from both optical and X-ray surveys.
These studies are carried out with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), the
Very Large Array in USA (VLA), the Giant Metre Radio Telescope in India (GMRT), the
Parkes radio telescope in Australia, and the ROSAT X-ray satellite. A survey project for
a legacy e-MERLIN proposal has been presented at the special session in Manchester
(October 2007) and will be further discussed with other international groups working in
this field. Research activity in this area include studies on surveys such as:
- ATESP 1.4 GHz and 5 GHz surveys
- VIRMOS-VLT Deep Surveys (VVDS)
- VLA-VVDS Survey
- VLA-COSMOS
- B3 VLA Survey
- CMB Foreground Emission Surveys
- The North Ecliptic Pole Survey
Extragalactic radio sources and their evolution (Bologna). The scientific research on
extragalactic radio sources is one of the most active fields of the Institute. The ultimate
goal is to understand the origin of the radio emission, in all its different aspects, in young
and old sources, small and giant sources, active and relaxed sources, and their polarization
5
properties. The studies at the radio, optical, infrared, X-ray wavelengths are used to
compare different emission mechanisms and to determine the evolutionary properties of
radio sources. Results obtained in this field are: estimates of the ages of radio sources and
of their cosmological evolution, estimate of the jet velocity and propagation, relation
between radio emission properties and other wavelength properties, interaction between
radio sources and the environment. This research relies on facilities including the VLA
(New Mexico), the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) in The Netherlands,
MERLIN, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), the Italian Telescopio Nazionale Galileo
TNG (Canary Islands), the IRAM 30m Telescope. Topics in this research area include:
- Ageing of Radio Galaxies and Relic Radio Galaxies
- Giant Radio Sources
- Radio Sources with Recurrent Activity
- Hot Spots in radio Galaxies
- High-Redshift Quasars
- Millimeter Studies of Low-Luminosity Radio Galaxies
- The HST View of Radio Galaxies
- Searches for Radiatively Inefficient Accretion Disks in Low-Luminosity AGN
Clusters of galaxies (Bologna). Studies in this field are focused on the physical conditions
of the Intra Cluster Medium (ICM) and in particular on the non-thermal components
(relativistic electrons and magnetic fields), and their interaction with the thermal one.
Studies of clusters and cluster galaxies are not confined to the radio domain but rather
adopt a multi-band approach which includes both the X-ray and optical domains, in the
local and distant Universe. Such studies provide important pieces of information on the
formation and the evolution of the largest structures in the Universe.
IRA has a leading role, internationally recognized, in the study of the non-thermal cluster
emission. Several cluster halos and relics have been discovered and studied by IRA
scientists, who obtained statistical results, polarimetry, spectra and multi-frequency
spectral images (from 74 MHz to 1.4 GHz) that are suggesting the connection between
non-thermal processes and cluster mergers. In addition, strength and structure of cluster
magnetic fields have been obtained from Rotation Measure studies. Another important
result obtained in X-rays is the negative evolution of clusters, i.e. the decrease of high
luminosity clusters with respect to the local Universe. The observations are performed with
the VLA, WSRT, GMRT, the X-ray satellites XMM-Newton and Chandra. Future
programs include studies with new generation instruments operating at low frequency
(LOFAR, LWA). Topics in this area are:
- Halos and Relics
- Observational Study of the Properties of Radio Halos
- The Analysis of Magnetic Fields in Clusters
- The Radio Luminosity Function of Distant X-Ray Selected Cluster Radio Galaxies
- The Effect of X-ray Point Sources on Cluster Scaling Relations
- Dominant Dumbbell Galaxies in Nearby Clusters and Central Galaxies in poor Groups

AGN studies with VLBI (Bologna, Noto). The Very Long Baseline Interferometry
(VLBI) technique provides the highest angular resolution currently achievable in any field
of astronomy. VLBI allows the study of radio galaxies and quasars in the innermost
regions of Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). VLBI studies have a long tradition at IRA,
with particular emphasis on the properties of extragalactic jets, their implication on the
AGN unification models, and the life cycle of radio galaxies. Important results have been
obtained on low-power radio galaxies, which have been demonstrated to host relativistic
jets similar to the high-power radio galaxies, and on evolutionary models for Compact
Steep Spectrum (CSS) and Giga-Hertz-Peaked Spectrum (GPS) sources, and their
polarization. New prospects in this area are related to: i) observations at very high
resolution and frequency (86 GHz - 3 mm) with the Global Millimeter VLBI Array
(GMVA) to study the inner AGN regions not visible at lower frequency because of
resolution and self-absorption, ii) observations of gamma-ray emitting AGN, which will be
detected with the incoming satellites GLAST and AGILE. The VLBI observations are
performed with the European VLBI Network, which includes the Medicina and Noto radio
telescopes, the American VLBI Network (VLBA), the High Sensitivity Array (HSA), the
GMVA, the Japanese space VLBI antenna VSOP. VLBI proposals in collaboration with
the LAT-GLAST team have been submitted at the October dead-line. Research topics in
this area include:
- Relativistic jets
- Unified Models
- Giga-Hertz-Peaked Spectrum (GPS) and Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) Sources
- GPS/CSS Evolutionary Models
- Polarimetric Observations of GPS/CSS Sources
- Secular Optical Behavior and Structural Changes of BL Lacs
Interstellar medium and star formation (Bologna, Firenze, Noto). Multi-line and
continuum radio and (sub-)mm observations of molecular clouds across the Galaxy are
performed with single dish and interferometric telescopes. The main aims are to determine
the physical and chemical properties of individual clouds, and to study Galaxy-wide
phenomena such as abundance gradients and gas-to-dust ratios. In the study of star
formation the emphasis is on the earliest phases of massive protostars: chemistry of
prestellar cores, jets and outflows, and maser emission. Regarding the latter, water masers
in star forming regions have been monitored for 20 years with the 32-m Medicina antenna,
which has produced the most extensive database of its sort currently available. These data
allow the detection and analysis of the variability (in time, velocity, and flux density) of
these sources in great detail; interesting sources are followed-up with VLA and VLBA
observations. In addition to these facilities, it is made use of the Effelsberg 100-m antenna,
TNG, James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), IRAM 30-m, Plateau de Bure
Interferometer, Sub-millimeter Array SMA. Topics in this area are:
- Galactic Interstellar Medium
- Star formation
- Early stages of massive star formation
7
- Masers in Regions of Star formation and in Circumstellar Envelopes
- The Jet/Disk Systems in Low- and High-Mass Young Stellar Objects
- Theoretical Radiative Tranfer for Polarized Light in non-LTE Stellar Atmospheres
- Metal Abundance Gradients in the Galaxy with Planetary Nebulae
- Radio emission from binary systems
Theoretical Research (Bologna). The theoretical group at IRA mainly focuses on models
that try to understand the origin and evolution of extragalactic radio sources at different
scales, from radio galaxies and quasars to radio halos and relics in clusters of galaxies.
Among the most important results we mention the origin of cluster radio halos, models for
the reacceleration of relativistic radio emitting electrons, the role played by cluster
turbulence in non-thermal cluster processes. These studies make use of a cluster of 16
computers at IRA (Mach-16) and supercomputers at the Italian Interuniversity Consortium
for Supercomputing CINECA. Scientific topics in this area include:
- X-ray Emission and Energetic of Radio Galaxies
- Origin of Radio Halos in Galaxy Clusters
- Statistical Properties and Cosmological Evolution of Non-Thermal Processes in
Galaxy Clusters
- Cosmological Numerical Simulations
Geodetic Activity (Bologna). This research activity is based on observations performed
with VLBI techniques as well as other classical and space geodetic equipments.
Investigations on relevant geodetic parameters are carried out applying different observing
techniques, aiming at combining observations and inter-comparing results. In particular,
studies of the troposphere water vapor and crustal deformations are currently carried out
with the Medicina and Noto 32-m VLBI dishes as well as other VLBI and GPS sites.
Troposphere water vapor monitoring might represent an important application in the
correction of radio data at low frequencies and it is crucial in climate studies as well as in
meteorological applications. IRA has a leading role in the International VLBI Service for
Geodesy and Astrometry for the 'Local Ties' activities and co-location issues. Topics in
this area are:
- Crustal deformation
- Troposphere Water Vapor
- Local Ties
- Antarctic Geodesy
The extragalactic interstellar medium and star formation (Firenze). The research is
aimed at assessing the role of dust and gas in the formation and evolution of galaxies and
active nuclei (AGN). Radiation transfer in dusty spiral disks is performed through a 3-D
Monte Carlo code, and has been applied to a suite of multi-wavelength observations. The
role of dust is investigated in star-forming objects at different redshifts and locally at low
8
metallicities. A CO survey with the Plateau de Bure (in the context of the NUGA – NUclei
of GAlaxies - collaboration) uses molecular gas as a mass tracer to investigate the
triggering and fueling of AGN. The kinematics and morphology of the circumnuclear gas
in AGN vary widely among galaxies, thus excluding the existence of a unique mechanism
for angular momentum removal. The study of the explosion rate of type 1a supernovae and
the ISM enrichment over a range of redshifts has shown a mass threshold of 5.5 solar
masses at which both the efficiency and the timescale must change drastically. The paper
describing the existence of such bimodality was chosen by the Nature magazine as a
Science Highlight in 2006. Observations are performed with the Spitzer satellite, Plateau
de Bure Interferometer, JCMT, VLA, TNG, ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT). Topics in
this area include:
- Extinction and emission by dust in spiral galaxies
- Molecular gas in galaxies with Active Nuclei
- Supernova rate and stellar populations
- Low-metallicity star formation
- Dust formation and evolution in a cosmological context
- Metallicity and dynamics of galaxies at z > 3
Technological developments (Medicina, Firenze, Noto). The technological activity of
IRA is related to the development of large instrumental projects. After the realization of
the radio telescopes of Medicina and Noto, the technological research and technical staff is
deeply involved in the construction of the Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT), in particular in
the construction and implementation of primary and secondary mirrors panels, active
surface, tertiary mirrors, receivers, back-ends, servosystems and antenna control software,
and antenna auxiliary equipment. New- generation receivers have been built to provide
continuous frequency coverage, quick commutation, frequency agility, and multi-feed
capabilities. A new-generation receiver at 4.3-5.8 GHz has been installed in Medicina and
checked. The multi-feed receiver at 22 GHz is now under test. Our ultimate goal is to
cover the frequency range between 300 MHz and 100 GHz. The realization of state-of-
the-art back-ends, both for continuum and for spectroscopy, is in progress. What is needed
for SRT is a back-end with a bandwith between 100 MHz and 2 GHz, several tens of
independent channels, and a high spectral resolution. The experience acquired from
ALMA will be incorporated.
In addition, the VLBI antenna network undergoes frequent upgrades. In this framework, a
Digital Base Band Converter (DBBC) has been built at Noto, which uses innovative
techniques, and that will be applied to VLBI analogic back-ends. This project is endorsed
by the European VLBI Network EVN, and involves several international partners,
including China.
Another big project is related to the Design Study of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA).
The re-instrumentation of part of the Northern Cross large Array aimed to test low cost
effective electronic, sub-systems, adaptive beam-forming, multi-beaming and RFI
mitigation / excision algorithms. All these concepts need to be verified on the BEST (Basic
Element for SKA Training) in order to be transferred to the european EMBRACE
9
demonstrator since they represent the heart of the SKA philosophy. The final step of BEST
(BEST-3) will offer about 7000 m2
collecting area.
Topics in this area are:
- Upgrade of the Medicina Radio Telescope for High-Frequency Continuum
Observations
- Software Development for Sky Surveys with a 20 GHz 7-horn multibeam
- CMB Polarization Experiments: Study of New Instrument Architectures for
Observations of the B-Mode of the CMB Polarized Emission
- The 32m-Dish Parabolic Antenna System at Medicina Observatory
- Square Kilometer Array Design Studies (SKADS)
- LOw Frequency Array LOFAR
- Development of Multi-Tasking Spectrometers
- Bioastronomy
- Radio Science
Science with Sardinia Radio Telescope (Bologna). The SRT is a general-purpose radio
telescope, capable of operating with high efficiency from 300 MHz to over 100 GHz. It
will be used for single-dish studies, VLBI, geodesy, radar and for space Science.
To optimise the scientific use of the telescope and fully exploit the SRT capabilities,
priorities have to be established in the SRT receiver/backend development. New
competitive opportunities will be opened following these general criteria: i) use of SRT at
the highest possible frequency, ii) implementation of multi-beam arrays, iii) use of as large
as possible banwidths for the continuum and for spectral-line work, iv) ad hoc hardware
for lower-frequency projects (pulsars, polarimetry), v) frequency agility.
For a detailed overview of the science that can be done with SRT, we refer to the book
“Science with SRT” (2006).
Science and Technology with Herschel (Firenze). IRA is involved with the ESA
satellite Herschel, both from the technological and from the scientific points of view. The
optics/electronics interface for the 50-250 micron imager/spectrometer PACS was
designed and realized (in collaboration with industry) at IRA-Firenze. IRA also
collaborated on the calibration of PACS itself: in early 2006 a test calibration was
performed in Firenze, and after further improvements and fine tuning, in September 2006,
the apparatus was transported to the MPE in Garching where the calibration of the Flight
Model was successfully performed. Scientifically, over the last three years, IRA has been
involved in the preparation of the Guaranteed-Time Observations (GTOs). In particular,
we are preparing the observations regarding two HIFI-PACS GTO Key Programmes: (i)
Water and (ii) Unbiased Spectral Survey. Line intensity predictions have been derived by
using physical and chemical models, and preparatory ground-based observations have also
been performed.
10
Frequency Protection for Radio Astronomy (Bologna). The protection of radio
frequencies assigned to radio astronomy necessitates of several activities to be performed
at several levels, in particular: i) monitoring and recognition of local interferences, i.e. at
the instrument sites, and contacts with local administrations, ii) contacts with national
Ministry for the interference elimination, iii) international contacts within the Committee
for Astronomical Frequencies (CRAF), founded by the European radio astronomical
observatories to develop a common European policy.
Computer science (Bologna). Due to the growing request of computing power needed for
scientific projects, the institute scientists are working on nodes of parallel computing on
high-velocity networks and with new conception software in GRID environment. To this
end, a small GRID node has been installed in the Institute in collaboration with the
Osservatorio di Trieste and IASF-INAF of Bologna, in order to explore the capabilities of
this system in the astronomical field. The computer center activity is aimed at obtaining
adequate resources for the Alma Regional Center, analyze the needs for software
correlation according to the product developed in Australia at the supercomputing center of
the University of Swinburne, optimize the software packages of data reduction, investigate
the techniques for displaying and transfer of data, and realize their application to the
astrophysics (see also Chapter 5).
ALMA Project: ALMA Regional Center (Bologna). To develop expertise in the field of
mm astronomy and to ensure the proper use of ALMA, INAF has decided to participate in
the initiation of a European network of ALMA Regional Centers (named ARClets)
supported by ESO. IRA has agreed to host the Italian node, which will provide support to
ALMA users for the calibration and advanced data reduction. The Bologna ARC will also
promote the use of ALMA among the Italian astronomical community. The current activity
is aimed at the development of mosaicing techniques and the treatment for polarization
data, the development of large-data-storage techniques, and the assessment of scientific
topics to be investigated. It is planned that the ARC will be active for at least 10 years
after ALMA becomes operational.

Chapter 3. PERSONNEL STRUCTURE
At 30 September 2007, the permanent staff of IRA consists of 73 units, distributed in the
various divisions as follows (scientists include both scientific and technological research
staff):
Bologna: scientists 24, technicians/administrative 8
Medicina: scientists 3, technicians 12
Firenze: scientists 11, technicians/administrative 3
Noto: scientists 4, technicians/administrative 8
The personnel temporarily assigned to the Osservatorio di Cagliari is listed in Annex 2, but
is not considered in the present statistical considerations.
The diagram in Fig. 1 shows the distribution of scientists (distinguishing scientific from
technological research staff), technicians and administrative staff.

Figure 1
The IRA scientific staff has a very limited number of young people with permanent
positions (see distribution in Fig. 2). This is due to the fact that the most recent hiring of
permanent staff scientists goes back to December 2001. Since then, no new permanent
positions were created by CNR despite of the numerous losses of personnel (deceases,
moves, retirements). INAF has assigned to IRA a new position last year (2006) for a 3rd
level scientist (assistant equivalent) working on VLBI. The job has been obtained by
Marcello Giroletti, who however has not yet been hired by INAF, thus he is still funded by
a fellowship. Another 3rd
level scientist position has been assigned this year to INAF, the
competition will be carried out in 2008.
12
It is also clear from Fig. 2 that several people are close to the age of retirement. Indeed,
one person from Firenze (Francesco Palagi) has just retired in October, and 2 more persons
from Bologna (Alfredo Gallerani and Mario Vigotti) will retire in Spring 2008.

note that careers are very slow: only people above 45 are promoted to the medium level
(associate equivalent) and only people above 55 are promoted to the highest level (full
professor equivalent). Also for the technical/administrative staff, career advancement is
very problematic.

In addition to permanent staff, there are staff members with temporary contracts funded by
national projects or by EC grants. These people are either technology research staff (SRT,
SKADS, Herschel) or technicians/administrators; none of them is a research scientist. They
should get a permanent position within 1-2 years according to a recent Italian law.
Several University professors collaborate with the scientific staff of IRA. Their activity is
very important as they contribute with their expertise, manpower and educational activities
(undergraduate students).
IRA has a significant numbers of PhD students, Post-Doc and fellows. Most of them are
funded by third-part grants (i.e. University, EC, national-based INAF projects) and not out
of the institute budget. The distribution of the different categories is shown in Fig. 4.

There are no women among the technological research staff.
In the scientific research staff, women are as numerous as men at the top level (full
professor equivalent), while they decrease in percentage once the lower career levels are
considered (Fig. 5d). This is opposite to what is commonly found in the Italian research
(where women are significantly underrepresented at the highest levels), but since we are
dealing with small numbers in the various categories, we can consider this as a statistical
fluctuation.
Globally, it can be concluded that women are reasonably well represented at the IRA.

The full list of personnel, including permanent and temporary staff, students, fellows and
collaborators, is reported in Annex 2.
The Annex also lists for completeness the IRA personnel temporarily assigned to the
Osservatorio di Cagliari, although it has not been used for the above statistical analysis.

Chapter 4. STRUCTURE OF THE BUDGET
When the institute was within the CNR, the IRA administration followed civil service rules
under CNR's central administration control. After the transition to INAF, the institute has
to manage its own budget, plus the external funding, issue the contracts and salaries to
fellows, etc., even though the administrative personnel has not been augmented. We need
also administrative positions in each site. The situation is critical also because the
administrative work includes quite complex procedures. Presently, there is one
administrative in Firenze, one in Noto.
The standard funding from INAF is divided in two main portions, that for “normal
operations” (including utilities, consumables, maintenance, etc.) and that for “research”
(including traveling, fellowships, equipment, etc.). This budget includes the normal
operation and maintenance of the radiotelescopes.
In addition, INAF can assign money for special purposes through the INAF Department of
Projects. National scientific projects can be funded following a yearly call, and subsequent
evaluation, however the total funding for this aim has been very limited so far.
Technological projects can obtain funding from the INAF Technological Innovation
Office, again following a peer-review process.
The funding obtained since 2004 until 30 September 2007 is presented in Table 1, where a
blank line separates different classes of incomes. The first and second line report the INAF
funding for normal operations and research, respectively. It decreased with time, although
the 2007 funding is not yet the final one (it has been announced by INAF that the 2007
funding for these entries will be the same as that of 2006).
Lines 3, 4 and 5 of the table report the money assigned by the INAF Project Department,
for the maintenance and upgrade of the VLBI antennas, for the ALMA regional center and
for the Sardinia Radio Telescope, respectively.
Lines 6 and 7 report the funding from INAF scientific and technological national projects,
involving IRA scientists. The scientific projects funded by INAF, in which IRA
participates are: Non-thermal phenomena in galaxy clusters; Preparation for ALMA;
Interstellar Masers: a critical probe for star formation; The metallicity evolution through
cosmic ages.
Technological Innovation projects at IRA funded by INAF are: Realization of a board at
large bandwidth for radio frequency; Digital Back-ends; Packaging of monolithic devices
in cryogenic and spatial environment.
What is relevant for the scientific and technological activity of the institute is the access to
external funding, in particular from European Community (line 8) and Italian Space
Agency ASI (line 9).
EC Projects in various years are: RadioNet, FARADAY, ESTRELA, SKADS, EXPRES,
MCCT-SKADS, ARENA. It should be noted that these projects are either technological, or
for international coordination activity. A relevant income has been for the SKA Design
Study (~ 1 MEUR spread in 2006 and 2007).
16
Projects of the Italian Space Agency are: ITASEL (Italian Search for Extraterrestrial
Intelligence), Tracing galaxy evolution, Scientific activity for CASSINI, Observations of
the Universe from the Moon, Radio relic/merger connection in galaxy clusters, High

Chapter 5. PROVISION OF MATERIAL, EQUIPMENT AND WORKING SPACES
Computer center
Since the 80’s, IRA has been the provider of computer services related to image analysis
for the Council of Research (CNR) in the Emilia Romagna Region. For this reason, it has
developed versatile computer systems capable of satisfying the needs of several users, not
only those of the Institute itself. In the 90’s, in cooperation with the CNR, the Institute
coordinated the development of the telematic network of the CNR Institutes in the Emilia
Romagna region and designed the network in the Bologna Research Area. The computer
center currently manages the hardware and software facilities of the Institute, oversees the
network infrastructure of the CNR Bologna campus, and hosts the network devices and
the servers for the full campus.
Traditionally, the center activity has been devoted to the development of software for the
astronomical catalogues and image management. The computing facilities at IRA have
been always organized as a centralized server following a “client-server” model. In this
way, the various workstations may have different characteristics, but share common
software packages, large disk space, data-bases, etc.
It has become clear in recent years that the computing power needs for the scientific
projects of the institute are much superior to those of single work-stations. In 2005, the
computer center has been equipped with a cluster of 16 high speed machines + the server
(named Mach-16) with 2 GBy memory each, connected on a separate 1 Gbit/s network, for
the theoretical work and simulations. Moreover the request in computing power for the
VLBI correlation in real time is about 103
- 104
times the capacity of the standard CPUs.
Thus there is the need for nodes of parallel computing on high-velocity networks and with
new conception software in GRID environment. To this end, a small GRID node has been
installed in the Institute in collaboration with the Osservatorio di Trieste and IASF-INAF
of Bologna, in order to explore the capabilities of this system in the astronomical field.
IRA headquarters in Bologna hosts INAF’s Costing Elaboration Data Center (CED), which
is used by about 100 administrative users operating in the INAF headquarters in Roma and
all INAF structures in Italy.
In Medicina and Noto there is not a real computer center, but there is local staff in charge
of the maintenance of workstations and of the network. The computer devices at these
observing stations are mostly devoted to data acquisition from the radio telescopes,
monitoring and control of the instruments.
The IRA division in Firenze shares the computing infrastructures of the Osservatorio
Astrofisico di Arcetri.

Working space
The total area of the Bologna headquarters is about 2500 m2. There are 35 offices with 1
person, 12 offices occupied by 2 persons, 5 open-space rooms for students and guests, a
seminar room, a meeting room, library, store rooms, and laboratories (see Chapter 6).
The are of the Medicina station is about 2650 m2
(including the small VLBI building).
There are 15 offices hosting 2 or more people each, plus the laboratories.
There is a guesthouse of 4 rooms and 1 flat, hosting up to 8 people.
In Firenze, the working space is within the INAF Osservatorio di Arcetri. The offices are
small and mostly shared with at least another person,
The station in Noto has a total working space of about 1350 m2, 14 offices, meeting rooms,
and laboratories.
There is a guesthouse with 4 rooms and 1 flat, hosting up to 6 people.

Chapter 6. OBSERVATIONAL FACILITIES AND LABORATORIES
Radio Telescopes
IRA presently operates 3 radio telescopes: the two 32-m VLBI radio telescopes in
Medicina and Noto, and the Northern Cross Radio Telescope in Medicina. The two
instruments were born as identical radio telescopes, but in the course of time they evolved
into quite different instruments, with distinct capabilities and equipment. Both radio
telescopes are equipped with receivers at frequencies up to 22 GHz. The largest differences
are: the presence of frequency change agility and fiber optic connection in Medicina, the
presence of a receiver at 43 GHz in Noto, combined with the presence of active surface,
which guarantees its high efficiency. The future plans are to connect Noto with fiber optic,
and Medicina with the high-frequency capability.
Both the Medicina and Noto 32-m dishes are part of the European Consortium for VLBI
(EVN), acknowledged as a European large-scale Facility. Most of the time they operate
with the other antennas of the Consortium in the interferometric network at the highest
level of efficiency. Regular VLBI observations are as follows:
- astronomical VLBI: about 3 months/yr within the VLBI network, at frequencies between
1.4 GHz and 22 GHz (3 VLBI runs), plus 43 GHz observations in Noto;
- geodetic VLBI: about 1 month/year of geodetic observations (2 runs/month, about 24 h
each).
The Medicina radio telescope participates also in the electronic-VLBI (e-VLBI)
experiments. The electronic VLBI Interferometer is achieved using high-speed
communication networks operating in real-time and connecting together some of the
largest and most sensitive radio telescopes (EC project EXPReS). The Medicina dish is
one of the 6 European radio telescopes (Cambridge UK, Jodrell Bank UK, Westerbork NL,
Torun PL, Onsala SW) which have a 1 Gbs fiber optic connection to the Italian (GARR)
and European (GEANT) scientific networks. Regular runs are scheduled since 2006 for
about 10 days/yr (10 runs, about 24 h each). In addition, Medicina also participates in
tests, e.g. in a recent observation (August 2007) involving Chinese and Australian
telescopes. The fiber optic connection of the Noto dish is desirable, particularly because of
the 43 GHz observing capability.
In addition to VLBI observations, single dish programs are carried out for about 4-6
months/yr. The single-dish observations are allocated on a peer-review basis, with a call
for proposal issued twice a year. Approved projects are both astronomical and geodetical.
Some projects require the simultaneous use of Medicina and Noto. About half of the
single-dish projects are "monitoring programs" and are part of large projects involving
collaborations with the optical and X-ray community. In addition, observational campaigns
are regularly performed for experiments of Radio Science. Collaborations are now active
with the scientific community of the incoming gamma-ray satellites AGILE and GLAST,
for radio monitoring and follow-up projects.
20
A future involvement of the Medicina and Noto antennas with the space VLBI program
(VSOP2) is planned, as well as the collaboration for Radio Science experiments with ESA.
Remaining days with no scheduled observations are used for normal maintenance, check of
the instrumentation, upgrades and tests of new technologies.
Although the two antennas are extensively used for observations, they would need
extraordinary maintenance (azimuth rail track in Noto and elevation wheel in Medicina),
which has not been done so far because of lack of funding. A big future effort will be
devoted to the improvement of the access of these instruments, by unifying the control
software, allow remote operations, and arrange data acquisition in a single place.
The Northern Cross radio telescope in Medicina is an instrument owned by the University
of Bologna. It is managed by IRA after a formal agreement with the University, which
contributes to its maintenance costs. It is presently used for the development of two
important technological projects:
- test-bed for the Square Kilometer Array (EC Project SKADS). Through the re-
instrumentation of part of the Northern Cross, several concepts relevant to SKA are tested
(see Chapter 2, Technological Developments);
- implementation of a LOFAR remote station by equipping part of the Northern Cross
radio telescope with new receivers. This project will enable testing of the performance and
results of LOFAR on a ~1000 km baseline, in view of the acquisition of a LOFAR station
in Medicina.
For further details about the instrument use, and related research, we refer to the institute
web page.
It is worth mentioning here that IRA-Firenze has been running the Italian National
Telescope TIRGO (Telescope IR GOrnegrat), which was located at Gornergrat near
Zermatt, in Switzerland Alpes, at 3135 m altitude. It was a 1.5m Cassegrain telescope with
a wobbling secondary and optimized for infrared observations. Its operations terminated in
spring 2005, after about 25 years working.
Laboratories
There are laboratories in all sites of IRA, aimed at the development of new instrumentation
and the maintenance of present radio telescopes. The main activity is to design and
implement receivers, back-ends, autocorrelators, passive components such as feed horns
(see Chapter 2), and update the computer network at each facility. Despite of the
obsolescence of some equipment, the technological research in the digital field deals with
the development of boards using FPGA devices and in the microwave field using MMIC
Chips. Both are current state-of-the-art techniques.
21
Table 3 gives a summary of the laboratories at the various IRA sites. Most common are
mechanical, electronic, digital electronic and microwave laboratories.
The cinematography lab in Bologna is aimed at developing outreach material for INAF.
The laboratories in Firenze are shared with the Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri.

Chapter 7. JUNIOR AND VISITING SCIENTISTS
In the framework of the Early-Stage TRaining site for European Long-wavelength
Astronomy (ESTRELA) project, a European Community project ``Marie Curie Early
Stage Training Network'', which is a collaboration between six research institutes (Jodrell
Bank, Max-Planck fuer Radioastronomie-Bonn, Onsala Space Observatory, ASTRON-
Dwingeloo, JIVE-Dwingeloo, and IRA), IRA hosts at present two Ph. D. students, who do
their research in astronomy (mostly astronomy-related technology) under the combined
supervision of a IRA project leader and a university professor from the local university.
Specifically, one has started in October 2006 (John Morgan under the combined
supervision of Mauro Nanni and Daniele Dallacasa - University of Bologna), while the
second has started in September 2007 (Rashmi Verma under the supervision of Alessandro
Orfei -Medicina, Isabella Prandoni -Bologna and Loretta Gregorini - University of
Bologna). The duration of the projects is three years. ESTRELA provides complete
financial support for them.
The Institute has a formal bilateral agreement of collaboration with NRAO (USA), India
and China. In the framework of these collaborations, there is fruitful exchange of scientists.
In addition, IRA is visited by several foreign scientists for data reduction and scientific
discussions. Dr. Jun Tao from Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of
Sciences, has visited the IRA for a year (mid 2006-mid 2007).
Shorter visits are very frequent. The following scientists have been guests at IRA in 2006
for about 15 days each:
Dr. Michiel Brentjens, Kapteyn Astronomical Institute, University of Groningen (NL),
Dr. Tracy Clarke, Naval Research Laboratory (Washington, USA),
Prof. Vladimir Dogiel, Theoretical Physics Div., Lebedev Physical Inst. (Moscow, Russia),
Prof. Alex Lazarian, University of Wisconsin (Madison, USA),
Dr. Miguel Perez-Torres, Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía, CSIC (Granada, Spain).
Currently, Prof. Steven Tingay of Department of Imaging and Applied Physics, Curtin
University of Technology (Bentley, Western Australia) is visiting IRA for 3 months.
All these visits have been paid from third-party funding, none on the IRA budget.

IRA-INAF is a patentee on active surface for large telescopes in Italy (n.
BO2002A000012), Europe (03700051.0-2220-IB0300045), USA (n. 10/495,477) and
Japan (n. 2003-558968) (Orfei).
Medicina 32m dish group had, and has, ongoing activities of transfer of knowledge with
private companies in Italy (in Bologna and in L' Aquila).
Patent: Digital Base Band Converter (DBBC) System. Italian patent with worldwide
extension in course. Collaboration Agreement with Studio Ingegneria e Geotecnica Testa.
Owing to the Institute research activity in the technological field, a transfer know-how is
expected. A spin-off activity, related to the technology development in the digital backends
area and in the very high speed data transfer (> 10 Gbps) field, is now being established by
INAF. This activity will work in strict collaboration with IRA, and will be one of its
business arm.

Chapter 11. OUTREACH AND PUBLIC RELATIONS ACTIVITIES
IRA operates since 15 October 2005 the Visitor Center “Marcello Ceccarelli”, located
close to the Medicina Station. One person (Stefania Varano) is responsible for the
management and development of the Center. She has been funded by INAF for 2 years, but
no more support is currently available from INAF, thus in 2008 she will be funded by a
sponsoring Bank. The activity of the Visitor Center relies also on the help of a volunteer
collaborator (Daniela Fiorani), and on the contribution of several scientists and technicians
of the Institute. The Visitor Center consists of a permanent exhibition of panels and
instruments. In addition, guided tours of the radio telescopes are organized for school
groups and private people. There about 5000 visitors/yr, 700 of which are private.
Outreach events are also organized, as public conferences and discussions.
The Visitor Center of IRA has strong collaboration with the Visitor Centres of MPIfR,
OSO, JBO, Nancay, Yebes. It also collaborates with private companies for the production
of media products for astronomy.
Every year the IRA and Visitor Center participate to the Scientific Week promoted by the
Italian Ministry of Education and involving all scientific institutions in Italy, through
public conferences and special guided tours.
On 2-3 October, IRA has participated to the organization of “Sputnik 50”, a meeting to
celebrate the 50th
anniversary of the Sputnik program and 50 years of space research.
The IRA personnel is also frequently involved in educational activity through conferences,
visits to schools, interviews on media and papers on magazines.
In future, it is planned to increase the synergy between IRA and the other INAF institutes
in Bologna, and the University, to organize common events as a general policy, but in
particular in view of the 2009 Year of Astronomy.
As outreach activity, it should also be mentioned the scientific video entitled "Quelli che la
fisica" (I picked physics because…), realized by Marco Malaspina (IASF) and Stefano
Parisini (IRA) in 2005, which recently obtained the Best video award for Scientific
promotional videos (Milan, 2007).

Chapter 12. PUBLICATIONS
The scientific production of the IRA can be found at the institute web pages, and is
annexed to this report, separated per year: 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 (Annex 3, 4, 5, 6,
respectively). The total number of publications has largely increased in 2006 and 2007, in
particular it is remarkable the increase in the number of invited talks, which indicates a
larger international impact of the IRA research.
The total number of citations of the IRA personnel is 34,300 for all published publications
(3209 papers) and 33,300 for only refereed publications (1483 papers). Normalized
citations numbers are 7600 and 7200 respectively. If one considers the citations only since
1997, the same year used by ISI§, these numbers change into 16,100 for all publications
(1831 papers) and 15,000 for only refereed publications (843 papers). Normalized citations
numbers are 3200 and 2800 respectively.
Table 4 summarizes the number of papers in various typologies.

CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
As shown in this report, the research activity of the Institute is supported by numerous
results in areas of both basic science and technology.
In the last years when IRA was an Institute of the CNR, it reached the top level within
CNR, thanks to the number of refereed papers, contributions to international and national
meetings, patents, educational activity and technological developments. As CNR Institute,
IRA was reviewed in 2002 by an international Committee, which gave a very positive
evaluation. An Italian committee was appointed in 2005 by INAF for the assessment of the
IRA Radio Telescopes and of their use. This too was very positive.
Throughout this report, several critical issues have been pointed out, in particular: very
limited funding from INAF for operation (maintenance of instruments, laboratories and
equipment) and research (fellowships, guests, postDoc, etc.), old age of permanent
scientific staff, too few positions since many years, too many staff members with
temporary employment, too little administrative and support staff.
However, the future of the institute could be seen in an optimistic perspective through the
continuation of the main scientific and technological research lines, the development of
observing programs with the most important current ground and space facilities, the
participation to large instrumental projects, the strong interaction with the Italian and
international community, the coordination of the activity of young people.
The commitment in the VLBI technique and its use will continue as one of the major
characterizations of the Institute. The completion of the Sardinia Radio Telescope will be
of great importance for the VLBI and for the further growth of Radio Astronomy in Italy.
