VLASS Survey Def. Options

• A: Monolithic (1 tier): • S-band/B-config (BnA for dec. < -10 deg)• 31100 sq degr. Entire sky > -30• 54uJy (higher in the plane)

Total 8800 hrs

• B: Monolithic (2 tier):– Extragalactic 21500 sq. deg. (S-band/B-array)

• 50uJy: 75 > dec > -10 deg.

– Galactic: 2800 sq. deg. (S-band/A-config)• 30uJy: +/-5 deg (plane); l +/- 14; b +/- 10sq. deg. (Bulge)

– Impact 8800 hrs over 6 years (20% usage/80% efficiency)
