摘要:

我们介绍了澳大利亚平方公里阵列探路者(ASKAP)的银河系和质量大会(GAMA)-23小时领域的观测。调查是在887.5兆赫进行的,覆盖了83平方度的区域。我们使用最新版本的ASKAPSoft管道对校准后的可见度数据进行了成像,这些数据是作为宇宙进化制图(EMU)早期科学计划的一部分。最终的马赛克具有10角秒的角分辨率和大约38 $μ$/y光束$^{-1}$的中心均方根噪声。导出的射电源目录有39812个条目以上的峰值通量密度阈值为5 $σ$。我们使用GAMA光谱(i波段的星等限制为19.2等)和多波长目录(可作为合作的一部分)搜索射电源宿主星系。我们确定了5934个射电源的GAMA光谱红移主机。我们描述的数据减少,成像和源识别过程,并提出了源计数。由于我们的调查覆盖范围广,我们获得了非常稳健的计数,低至0.2兆焦耳。ASKAP的卓越的测量速度,提供了有效的,灵敏的和高分辨率的天空大区域的映射与GAMA 23领域的多波长数据,使我们能够发现63个巨大的射电星系。这里提供的数据证明了ASKAP在前SKA时代的卓越能力。

英文摘要:

We present the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) observations of the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA)-23h field. The survey was carried out at 887.5 MHz and covers a 83 square degree field. We imaged the calibrated visibility data, taken as part of the Evolutionary Mapping of Universe (EMU) Early Science Programme, using the latest version of the ASKAPSoft pipeline. The final mosaic has an angular resolution of 10 arcsec and a central rms noise of around 38 $μ$Jy beam$^{-1}$. The derived radio source catalogue has 39812 entries above a peak flux density threshold of 5$σ$. We searched for the radio source host galaxy counterparts using the GAMA spectroscopic (with an i-band magnitude limit of 19.2 mag) and multi-wavelength catalogues that are available as part of the collaboration. We identified hosts with GAMA spectroscopic redshifts for 5934 radio sources. We describe the data reduction, imaging, and source identification process, and present the source counts. Thanks to the wide area covered by our survey, we obtain very robust counts down to 0.2 mJy. ASKAP's exceptional survey speed, providing efficient, sensitive and high resolution mapping of large regions of the sky in conjunction with the multi-wavelength data available for the GAMA23 field, allowed us to discover 63 giant radio galaxies. The data presented here demonstrate the excellent capabilities of ASKAP in the pre-SKA era.
