ASKAP simulations show idealised images of the sky

In preparation for early science observations with CSIRO's ASKAP telescope, the Central Processor which recently went 'live' at the iVEC Pawsey Centre in Perth is now being put through its paces.

The ASKAP Computing team has been refining processing pipelines by running simulated observations on the ASKAP Central Processor. These simulations produce data files that are able to be processed in exactly the same way on the Central Processor as a real observation would.
