Potential HI Compass Needles in the SMC – by Ma et al.
April 6, 2023
High-spatial-resolution HI (neutral hydrogen) observations within the Milky Way have led to the realisation that the nearby atomic filamentary structures are aligned with the ambient Galactic magnetic field. Ma et […]
ASKAP discovery of a 600 kpc complex radio source in Abell 3718 – by Loi et al.
April 5, 2023
Galaxy clusters host an incredible realm of radio source diversity: star forming galaxies, radio galaxies, remnant radio galaxies, radio phoenixes, radio halos, radio relics, and mini-halos. The detection and the […]
SKA Science Data Challenge 2: analysis and results – by Hartley et al.
April 4, 2023

It was announced last week that Germany will pursue full membership of the SKA Observatory (SKAO). The annoucement was made by German Federal Research Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger during a visit […]
Welcome to the ATNF Daily Astronomy Picture (ADAP), brought to you by staff and users of the Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF). Our aim is to present science and engineering results, research highlights from recent publications, technical updates, telescope pictures, conference summaries, etc.
Our site was inspired by the fabulous Astronomy Picture of the Day – @APOD and the ASTRON/Jive Daily Image – @dailyimage.
We welcome all ATNF users to submit an image related to our facilities (Parkes, ATCA, Mopra, ASKAP and LBA), together with a brief description and credits. Submissions can be emailed to the ADAP curator, (phil.edwards [at] csiro.au).
The ADAP was created in December 2014 by Baerbel Koribalski and Simon Johnston. Over 2500 ADAPs have now been published. Vince McIntyre, Nathan Pope, and Andrew O’Brien are acknowledged for their dedicated technical support. The ADAP is currently curated by Phil Edwards.
