TL;DR
The EMU survey aims to map the entire Southern Sky at 1.4 GHz with high sensitivity and resolution, detecting millions of galaxies and potentially new astronomical objects, leveraging the ASKAP telescope.
Contribution
This paper introduces the EMU survey's science goals and survey parameters, highlighting its scope and expected scientific impact.
Findings
Expected detection of about 70 million galaxies.
Capability to observe star-forming galaxies up to z=1.
Potential to discover new classes of astronomical objects.
Abstract
EMU is a wide-field radio continuum survey planned for the new Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope, due to be completed in 2012. The primary goal of EMU is to make a deep (Jy/bm rms) radio continuum survey of the entire Southern Sky at 1.4 GHz, extending as far North as +30 declination, with a 10 arcsec resolution. EMU is expected to detect and catalog about 70 million galaxies, including typical star-forming galaxies up to z=1, powerful starbursts to even greater redshifts, and AGNs to the edge of the Universe. EMU will undoubtedly discover new classes of object. Here I present the science goals and survey parameters.
