ADDRESS
ASKAP Deep Radio continuum Extragalactic Sky Survey
|
ADDRESS*
is a proposed radio sky survey project, designed to use the new ASKAP
telescope to make a deep (~10uJy rms) radio continuum survey covering the
entire Southern Sky. It can be characterised as a “ The project will be one
of several competing to use ASKAP. It is expected that Expressions of
Interest will be solicited in November 2008, with a deadline in December
2008, and that full proposals will be solicited in mid-2009. If successful,
the ADDRESS Project Team will be invited to play a significant role in
ensuring that ASKAP is built and operated to maximise the science return. Potential participants
are invited to join the team, and, if we are successful in the selection
process, will then have the opportunity to participate in designing the
parameters and processes of the survey, and participate in the commissioning
and quality control. All radio data from the
survey will be placed in the public domain as soon the data quality has been
checked. An
integral part of the proposed project will be to perform identifications with
other wavelengths, and produce catalogs of these and other “added-value” data
products. * ADDRESS
