The ASKAP HI spectral-line data processing
working group (led by Karen Lee-Waddell, CASS, and Attila Popping, UWA) together
with the ASKAP engineers, the ASKAP computing group and the ASKAP commissioning
team have been diligently working on
new 36-beam ASKAP
21-cm observations.
Preliminary HI moment maps the of the nearby spiral galaxy IC 5201, detected
in beam 9, are shown above. The observations (~12 hours) were obtained with
twelve PAF-equipped ASKAP antennas, 36 beams (FOV = 30 sq deg) and 48 MHz
bandwidth with a resolution of ~50 arcsec and 4 km/s.
