Issue Date: | 2015 | Journal: | POS PROCEEDINGS OF SCIENCE | Volume: | Advancing Astrophysics with the Square Kilometre Array (AASKA14) | Number: | 215 | First Page: | 68 | Abstract: | Radio wavelengths offer the unique possibility of tracing the total star-formation rate in galaxies, both obscured and unobscured. As such, they may provide the most robust measurement of the star-formation history of the Universe. In this chapter we highlight the constraints that the SKA can place on the evolution of the star-formation history of the Universe, the survey area required to overcome sample variance, the spatial resolution requirements, along with the multi-wavelength ancillary data that will play a major role in maximising the scientific promise of the SKA. The required combination of depth and resolution means that a survey to trace the star formation in the Universe should be carried out with a facility that has a resolution of at least ~0.5arcsec, with high sensitivity at < 1 GHz. We also suggest a strategy that will enable new parameter space to be explored as the SKA expands over the coming decade. | Conference Name: | Advancing Astrophysics with the Square Kilometre Array (AASKA14) | Conference Place: | Giardini Naxos, Italy | Conference Date: | 9-13 June, 2014 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/24054 | URL: | https://pos.sissa.it/215/068/ | ISSN: | 1824-8039 | ISBN: | 978-1-909204-70-6 | Bibcode ADS: | 2015aska.confE..68J | Fulltext: | open |
