EMU: Evolutionary Map of the Universe
  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.
