Tha ASKAP Update for May includes reports on survey progress, observing over the Easter break, an attempt to see the re-entry of COSMOS 482 and the first calibration reference field observations. Due to the Easter and ANZAC Day holidays in Australia, from April 17th to April 28th there were no support staff on-site at the observatory. ASKAP ran autonomously throughout this time in a mode similar to the end of year shutdown and we achieved the highest operational efficiency ever recorded (98%) due to a combination of good weather, no interruptions for maintenance or testing, and few system faults. This figure above shows a comparison of the SAURON simulation predictions (top) versus actual (bottom) observations for the Easter Shutdown period. Overall, the observations match well with the expected projection for this period and the fractions of data obtained for each survey are comparable. The science fields observed exactly matched until 01:33 UTC on the 20th of April (around 64.5 hr), and reality only significantly diverged from the prediction at 13:04 UTC on the 20th (just over 72 hr).
