Hi Aidan

Many thanks to you and all the ASKAP team for this major data release. This is a great milestone in getting a significant multi-pointing set of data all the way through the system from telescope to CASDA. As well as using these data for science, we will now use these data to exercise the EMU value-added pipeline and the EMU cosmology pipeline as a shakedown of the process of measuring the fundamental parameters of the Universe from ASKAP data.

All the best

Ray

Greetings all,

I am pleased to announce that the ASKAP operations team has completed processing all viable data from the EMU cosmology survey. We have uploaded data packages to the science data archive (CASDA) for 10 scheduling blocks. This includes visibility data. The data themselves are not representative of the full capability of the telescope as they were taken before several major control system upgrades (including fringe tracking per-beam). However, I encourage everyone to use these observations as a test of CASDA and its interfaces. More information can be found in the included release notice.

CASDA can be accessed here: https://data.csiro.au/collections/#domain/casdaObservation/search/

Best regards,
Aidan.
