The ASKAP Update for May reports on plans to improve ASKAP’s processing efficiency, describes SPICE-RACS processing on CSIRO’s Petrichor supercomputer, and outlines the goals of a Survey Science Project review […]
ATNF Colloquium – Stellar Death and Compact Object mergers in Galactic nuclei
June 5, 2024
Dr. Evgeni Grishin Abstract: The dynamical and hydrodynamical evolution of stars and stellar remnants is greatly affected by the dense galactic nuclei (GN) environment. We explore the complex interplay of […]
The Mills Cross at Fleurs
June 4, 2024
From 1954 to 1963, CSIRO’s Fleurs field station was one of the world’s leading radio astronomy observatories. The Mills Cross, named for its designer, Bernie Mills, consisted of 450m-long north-south […]
The Mills Cross at Fleurs

From 1954 to 1963, CSIRO’s Fleurs field station, located 40 km west of central Sydney, was one of the world’s leading radio astronomy observatories. Fleurs was home to three innovative […]
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.
