The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS). Science case and survey design
M. Lacy, S. A. Baum, C. J. Chandler +75
The Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS) is a synoptic, all-sky radio sky survey with a unique combination of high angular resolution (2.5"), sensitivity (a 1 goal of 70…
Calibration errors in interferometric radio polarimetry
C. A. Hales
Residual calibration errors are difficult to predict in interferometric radio polarimetry because they depend on the employed observational calibration strategy, encompassing the S…
The ASKAP/EMU Source Finding Data Challenge
A. M. Hopkins, M. T. Whiting, N. Seymour +31
The Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) is a proposed radio continuum survey of the Southern Hemisphere up to declination +30 deg., with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pa…
Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS) white paper: Go deep, not wide
Christopher A. Hales
The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) is currently the world's most powerful cm-wavelength telescope. However, within a few years this blanket statement will no longer be entir…
BLOBCAT: Software to Catalogue Flood-Filled Blobs in Radio Images of Total Intensity and Linear Polarization
Christopher A. Hales, Tara Murphy, James R. Curran +3
We present BLOBCAT, new source extraction software that utilises the flood fill algorithm to detect and catalogue blobs, or islands of pixels representing sources, in two-dimension…
Analytic Detection Thresholds for Measurements of Linearly Polarized Intensity Using Rotation Measure Synthesis
Christopher A. Hales, Bryan M. Gaensler, Ray P. Norris +1
A fully analytic statistical formalism does not yet exist to describe radio-wavelength measurements of linearly polarized intensity that are produced using rotation measure synthes…
