  1. An inventory of the SKADS tools to a fullSKA simulation An inventory of the SKADS tools to a fullSKA simulation Hans-Rainer Klöckner

  2. What do we want to learn EoR galaxies, clusters Milkyway Ionosphere array configuration ? ?

  3. What we (almost) have Images Catalogues Galactic sources - pulsar (in development) Galactic polarization (e.g. Stokes Q) EoR signal • Extragalactic Sources • continuum • HI • polarization • (partially) NON-SKADS GSM [de Oliveira-Costa et al. 2008]

  4. Where YOU can get it s-cubed.physics.ox.ac.uk [Levrier]

  5. Implementation Post-processing enables us to alter/add source properties

  6. Simulators in Oxford Siamese - MeqTree now in parallel [Smirnov et al.] A ‘simple’ simulator[Klöckner] ParselTongue [Kettenis et al.] & Visibilities per source or image Visibilities from image

  7. Analysis - image plane Sextractor [E. Bertin] Continuum Duchamp [M. Whiting] ParselTongue [T. Mauch] Dominic Light (Oxford) Noise level: 1e-9 Jy/beam Sources found (92%): 1573/1698 (1621) Average flux error: 3.78e-6 Jy

  8. Do we have everything to simulate the SKA sparse dish arrays  aperture array (function to describe AA (OeRC, ASTRON)) S imulation (AIPS , AIPS ++ , MeqTree ) K alibration (AIPS , AIPS ++ , MeqTree ) A nalysis (Cont , Line , Pulsar , Magnetism , EoR ) SKADS SKY in an operating SKA - multi-beam array  Galactic foreground contamination - window function in surveys of HI or continuum emission
