Probing Statistical Isotropy of Cosmological Radio Sources using Square Kilometre Array

Extragalactic radio surveys in the pre-Square Kilometre Array era

The era of the Square Kilometre Array is almost upon us, and pathfinder telescopes are already in operation. This brief review summarizes our current knowledge of extragalactic radio sources, accumulated through six decades of continuum surveys at the low-frequency end of the electromagnetic spectrum and the extensive complementary observations at other wavelengths necessary to gain this unders...

The Square Kilometre Array: An International Project To Realize The World's Largest Radio Telescope

The Square Kilometre Array is one of the most complex science projects ever conceived. The scientific drivers are important questions about the evolution of the early Universe, fundamental physics, study of galaxies and stars across time, formation of exo-planetary systems and astrobiology. The scientific requirements such as sensitivity and resolution are so hard that the required technology a...

End-to-end compute model of the Square Kilometre Array

Scientific requirements for next-generation radio telescopes significantly influence compute requirements of their processing facilities. For future instruments, such as the Square Kilometre Array, seemingly minor changes can easily push compute requirements into the exascale domain. We present a model for engineers and astronomers to understand these relations and to make trade-offs in radio t...
