Mapping dark matter and testing gravity with galaxy surveys

This project will use the Universe as a laboratory for revealing fundamental new physics. By surveying the motions of many galaxies over most of the sky, it aims to answer unsolved questions about the laws and contents of the Universe. To achieve this ambitious goal it will leverage the governments $188M investment in the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), a unique radio telescope for surveys. ASKAP features advanced technology developed in Australia for imaging large areas of sky at high speed with great sensitivity. A key product of this project will be a spectacular map of the nearby Universe that will provide a compelling demonstration of Australias world-leading technology for radio detection and imaging. The project will also harness major National Collaborative Research Infrastructure investments in high-performance computing. It will develop innovative techni
