Anticipated Performance of the Square Kilometre Array -- Phase 1 (SKA1)

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2020-01-01 v1

Abstract

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA), currently under design, will be a transformational facility for studying the Universe at centimetre and metre wavelengths in the next decade and beyond. This paper provides the current best estimate of the anticipated performance of SKA Phase 1 (SKA1), using detailed design work, before actual on-sky measurements have been made. It will be updated as new information becomes available. The information contained in this paper takes precedent over any previous documents.
