ASKAP u-v coverage

Introducing ASKAP The Australian SKA Pathfinder is a radio telescope array that uses new receiver technology to improve field of view and provide unprecedented survey speed Covers a section of the radio spectrum surrounding rest-frame neutral Hydrogen emission (700 MHz to 1.8 GHz) Consists of 36 individual 12m antennas fitted with PAF receivers Currently under construction at MRO, a radio quiet environment Begins early science operations with a subset of antennas in 2015 Some science is already being done with a prototype 6-antenna array (BETA)

ASKAP Science Priorities Most of the observing time will be spent on major survey projects. ASKAP will cater for large international science teams. Observations will be highly automated and done by facility operators. 10 major projects were selected to receive time during this first 5 yrs: Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) Widefield ASKAP L-Band Legacy All-Sky Blind Survey (WALLABY) The First Large Absorption Survey in HI (FLASH) An ASKAP Survey for Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) The Galactic ASKAP Spectral Line Survey (GASKAP) Polarization Sky Survey of the Universe's Magnetism (POSSUM) The Commensal Real-time ASKAP Fast Transients survey (CRAFT) Deep Investigations of Neutral Gas Origins (DINGO) The High Resolution Components of ASKAP (VLBI) Compact Objects with ASKAP: Surveys and Timing (COAST)

Data Flow at the Telescope PAF on Antenna Beamformer Correlator Digitiser x36 Antennas Information from all 188 PAF elements, 2 Tb/s (once digitised) Information from 36 beams, 0.6 Tb/s FPGAs RF over Fibre PAF on Antenna Beamformer Digitiser RF over Fibre Inside central MRO building

Digitisers and Beamformers

Data Flow out of the Correlator Data rate out of the correlator is roughly 2.5 Gb/s, requiring a dedicated high-speed optical fibre link to a supercomputer. Imaging occurs via an automated pipeline. Raw visibilities are too large to archive, so processing needs to be right first time! Correlator Supercomputer (Imaging & Calibration) Supercomputer (Imaging & Calibration) Archive (Storage & Interface) Astronomer VisibilitiesImages Off-site, at the Pawsey Centre in Perth Correlator has to be on- site. Data rates in are too high for economical long- distance transmission.

MoniCA Monitoring and control system used at various radio observatories Supports numerous protocols CA aware (via Cosylab JCA/CAJ) Archive PVs Policy per PV configuration CSS databrowser extension to query MoniCA

Antenna Drives IOC Soft IOC Interfaces with antenna Bosch-Rexroth PLC via TCP (asyn) Presents stateful antenna drives Stowed, Tracking, Slewing, Idle, etc. Built using State Notation Language Coordinate conversion (SLAlib) Trajectory generation Pointing parameters Antenna monitoring

Composite IOC (Craig Haskins) Composite Antenna IOC to group heterogeneous subsystems Composite Site IOC used to group homogenous antennas EPICS database for both generated from single CSV file which specifies PV and which subsystem IOCs contain that PV optional sequence order to serialize the commands, default is parallel execution

Summary Alarm Records (Craig Haskins) Automatically generated from DB parsing script Using bigASub (128 I/O version of asub) to collect IOC alarms to single point PV name of point(s) in alarm can be propagated up

Interface Developments (Xinyu Wu) Experimenting with WebOPI / WebAlarm Some useful additions to CSS alarm handling, will contribute back to project
