In May 2013, CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science announced an intention to develop an early science program for ASKAP.
ASKAP Early Science is a program of observations designed to explore new scientific parameter-space with ASKAP before the construction of the array is complete. The early science program will consist of a series of science-focused observations, carried out by the ASKAP commissioning and early science team.
Community consultation on the scope of ASKAP early science will take place during May-August 2013.
An all-day workshop on ASKAP Early Science will take place on 5 August 2013 at the Marsfield headquarters of CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science.
This workshop will provide a forum for astronomy community input into the ASKAP Early Science program.
