Two new Phased-Array Feeds on ASKAP
by Aidan Hotan (CASS)
Here is a photo of ASKAP antennas 4 and 5 with their newly installed Mk II Phased-Array Feeds (PAFs). When we can turn on the power in the next week or so, we will begin single-dish commissioning tests on these two antennas. This will be followed shortly by the installation and testing of another two MK II PAFs on ASKAP antennas 2 and 12. Once these four PAFs are ready, we can start working on commissioning the correlator and making the first images.
