The Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) has surveyed the sky at multiple
frequencies as part of the Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey (RACS).
The RACS-mid survey was published by Duchesne et al. earlier this year,
and
a follow-up paper describes the first set of
catalogues from RACS-mid, covering the sky below a declination of +49 degrees.
The primary catalogue comprises 3,105,668 radio
sources, including those in the Galactic Plane (2,861,923 excluding
Galactic latitudes of |b| < 5 degrees) and the catalogue is estimated to be
95% complete for sources above 1.6 mJy.
All RACS data products are available through the
CSIRO ASKAP Science Data Archive.
The image above shows cutouts of the radio galaxy PKS 0229-208.
The images are the RACS-mid
full-sensitivity image (left), the RACS-mid 25-arcsec image (centre
left), the RACS-low 25-arcsec image (centre right), and a
three-color Dark Energy Survey data release 2 image.
