“At the heart of ASKAP is the ‘correlator,’ a high-speed digital signal processing system that extracts astronomy signals from this massive amount of data. Using the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre and custom-written software, we produce science-ready datasets of many Terabytes for each observation, served to astronomers through ASKAP’s science archive.”
With this survey, the Evolutionary Map of the Universe aims to study a large portion of the southern sky. In addition to the discovery we’re about to talk about, once complete, it’s expected to help us further our understanding of how the first stars and galaxies came into existence by studying galaxies in various stages of evolution. Some may have popped into existence in as little as half a billion years after the Big Bang.
