Description

The GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA eXtended (GLEAM-X) survey boasts twice the resolution, and up to an order of magnitude higher sensitivity to its predecessor the GLEAM survey. Several parts have already been released, including a Galactic Plane release combining GLEAM and GLEAM-X, and the South Galactic Pole release. In this talk, I present the entire GLEAM-X survey covering the entire sky south of Dec+30, with a typical RMS of <1mJy/beam, and a catalogue of over 1million sources with spectral fitting.

This talk will also demonstrate the rich potential of science with GLEAM-X, the complimentary possibilities with other radio surveys, including RACS and LOTSS, and long term uses as we head into the Science Verification stage of SKA-Low. In particular, it will focus on a specific use case, presenting a new classification system for peaked spectrum sources (PSS), believed to be early stages of typical radio loud active galactic nuclei. We showcase the capabilities of GLEAM-X presenting a new catalogue of PSS that increases known PSS by an order of magnitude and estimates completeness and reliability of this new classification schema. This talk will summarise the lessons learned, evolving scientific goals, and legacy value of the GLEAM-X survey.
