- Early Science is an exciting stage for any new facility.We can't know the exact timescales or roll-out of various capabilities, but we have to plan for all eventualities, including lots of time for early science with a well working telescope. We want the opportunity to conduct ground-breaking science to make the highest impact on the community. To that end we propose a large area, full stokes, range survey which enable a great progress in many EMU science areas, but particularly the original key goal of galaxy evolutionHowever, we propose a observing across the full 1100MHz bandwidth which would provide a truly unique data set (different to that which the final ASKAP would produce). 1ASKAP12+ will be one of the most powerful survey radio telescopes in the world
