As reported in
yesterday's ADAP,
Keith Bannister gave a presentation
at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the
Astronomical Society of Australia
describing the work recognised in the award of
the Anne Green Prize.
The image above is one of Keith's slides, which provides a
nice summary of ASKAP by numbers, including several not usually quoted!
Each Phased Array Feed has 188 elements, so with 36 telescopes the
total number of receivers is just under 7000. And, as Keith pointed
out, the length of fibre is enough to cover the distance from
Perth to San Francisco!
