Description
The Serendipitous H-ATLAS fields Observations of Radio Extragalactic Sources (SHORES), led by Principal Investigator Marcella Massardi, is a 2.1 GHz radio survey conducted with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). Spanning 30 fields, totalling 15 square degrees in the Herschel-ATLAS Southern Galactic Pole region, SHORES achieves a sensitivity of up to 50 μJy at 5 $\sigma$ in the SHORES Deep Field. Notably, this field has also been probed at 5.5, 9, and 20 GHz.
This survey is a valuable resource for preparations ahead of forthcoming SKAO observations. Furthermore, SHORES fields have the advantage of multiwavelength ancillary coverage including Herschel far-IR data (H-ATLAS sgp), mid-infrared data (e.g. Spitzer), optical data (e.g. HST) and ASKAP observations. Moreover, SHORES has been observed in polarization, presenting a unique opportunity to investigate polarization properties within radio-loud AGN, star-forming galaxies, and radio-quiet AGN. Our study of galaxy populations in both total intensity and polarization holds significant implications for cosmology, particularly with regard to the influence of AGN and star-forming galaxies on foreground contamination in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at smaller angular scales.
