• All 36 Phased-Array Feeds (PAFs) are now installed on ASKAP.
  • ASKAP is currently operating with an array of 16 PAF-equipped antennas and 240 MHz of bandwidth.
  • WALLABY has nearly completed four Early Science fields to full depth; the remaining observations are hopefully taken before start of 2018.
  • Using the ASKAPsoft pipeline we have reached full WALLABY depth in a few beams towards IC5201. The quality is good !
  • The next WALLABY “busy week” is at UWA in Perth, starting Jan 29.
  • ASKAP is expected to soon operate with 24 PAF-equipped antennas (ASKAP-24), but due to the high data rate will mainly focus on continuum observations.
  • ASKAP Early Science is soon ending to allow final preparations for the full 36-antenna array to go ahead.
