Astrolunch - 8th May

Cormac Purcell:
The CORNISH Survey

The CORNISH survey is the radio continuum part of a series of multi-wavelength surveys of the Galactic Plane that focus on the northern GLIMPSE region l=10o to 65o, |b|<1o completed by the SPITZER satellite in the mid-IR. CORNISH aims to deliver a complementary, uniform, sensitive, high resolution radio survey to address key questions in high-mass star formation as well as many other areas of astrophysics.

Today I will be introducing the survey and reporting on the 1st half of the data, which was observed late last year.
