TL;DR
This paper discusses the development and capabilities of ASKAP, a large radio telescope array in Australia, focusing on its potential for pulsar observations including timing and searches.
Contribution
It provides an overview of ASKAP's design and progress specifically related to pulsar observation capabilities and ongoing research efforts.
Findings
ASKAP has a 30-square-degree field of view suitable for pulsar surveys.
The project is actively developing pulsar timing and search observation methods.
Progress has been made in integrating pulsar science into ASKAP's design study.
Abstract
The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) is a 36-element array with a 30-square-degree field of view being built at the proposed SKA site in Western Australia. We are conducting a Design Study for pulsar observations with ASKAP, planning both timing and search observations. We provide an overview of the ASKAP telescope and an update on pulsar-related progress.
