Planning for ASKAP Early Science taken to the next level

Over 70 astronomers gathered at Marsfield on Thursday 8 October for a community workshop to focus on ASKAP Early Science.

The workshop explored the scope, implementation and expected science outcomes of the ASKAP early science project, which is due to begin in 2016.

Specifically, discussions during the workshop revolved around planning for “ASKAP-12” – the shorthand name for the telescope made up of 12 ASKAP antennas at the MRO, each installed with the latest version (Mk II) of CSIRO’s phased array feed (PAF) receivers.
