Scientific paper

We request 120 hrs of observing time in the 6 km array configuration using the 1 to 3 GHz receiver to image 10 x 1.22 square degree fields centred on bright, compact, primary polarization calibrator candidates for ASKAP down to an rms sensitivity of 60 microJy. These observations are required to achieve the goals of the POSSUM Design Study, namely the full-Stokes calibration of the ASKAP array along with testing of algorithms for accurate polarization and RM extraction that will make full use of the wide observing bandwidth and field of view. Due to the current receiver upgrade, which restricts the ATCA to only 5 antennas, we ask that these observations are not conducted until all 6 antennas are available.
