TL;DR
The ATLAS survey is the largest sensitive radio survey covering 7 square degrees at 1.4 GHz, providing valuable data and serving as a precursor for the upcoming EMU project with ASKAP.
Contribution
This paper reports the first phase results of the ATLAS survey and outlines plans for future expansion as a precursor to the EMU project.
Findings
Largest sensitive radio survey to date at 1.4 GHz
Survey covered 7 square degrees to 30 micro Jy rms
Serves as a pathfinder for the EMU project
Abstract
The first phase of the ATLAS (Australia Telescope Large Area Survey) project surveyed a total 7 square degrees down to 30 micro Jy rms at 1.4 GHz and is the largest sensitive radio survey ever attempted. We report on the scientific achievements of ATLAS to date and plans to extend the project as a path finder for the proposed EMU (Evolutionary map of the Universe) project which has been designed to use ASKAP (Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder).
