EMU is a wide-field radio continuum survey planned for the new Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope. The primary goal of EMU is to make a deep (rms ~ 10 microJy/beam) radio continuum survey of the entire Southern Sky at 1.3 GHz, extending as far North as +30 degrees declination, with a resolution of 10 arcsec. EMU is expected to detect and catalogue about 70 million galaxies, including typical star-forming galaxies up to z~1, powerful starbursts to even greater redshifts, and AGNs to the edge of the visible Universe. It will undoubtedly discover new classes of object. This paper defines the science goals and parameters of the survey, and describes the development of techniques necessary to maximise the science return from EMU.

  1. The Ellis and Baldwin test of the Cosmic Dipole: Exploring the impact of multiple flux density cuts

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A multi-bin simultaneous dipole fitting method yields higher Bayes factors than single flux-cut approaches for non-power-law luminosity functions in cosmic dipole measurements.

  2. SPICE: Scintillation Pipeline for Interferometric Candidate Extraction

    astro-ph.IM 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    SPICE is an automated pipeline that recovers known pulsars in GMRT data by detecting scintillation signatures in interferometric visibilities.

  3. Cosmology from Clustering of Continuum Galaxies

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Forecasts angular clustering for a 20,000 sq deg SKAO radio continuum survey reaching O(300-400 million) sources and discusses needed corrections for telescope systematics and population modeling.
