Abstract:
About 50-70% of the first five years of SKA operations will be devoted
to KSPs, and probably also to Generic Surveys that maximize
commensality to a wide range of scientific objectives. There are
already several proposed KSPs focused on Galactic Science and we
foresee many other KSP concepts being submitted under the breadth of
Our Galaxy SWG.
SKA, providing better sensitivity and angular resolution than any of
the ongoing/planned surveys of the Galactic plane, will give the
opportunity to create a sensitive wide-field atlas of Galactic radio
emission and to address several topics in the field of Galactic
radioastronomy.
In this talk, I will summarize the ongoing work aimed at achieving
skills and expertise in the run-up to the development of the full SKA
to be ready and competitive for leading and participating in a SKA KSP
dedicated to Galactic studies, with particular regard to recent
results from the use of SKA precursors.
