EMU is a wide-field radio continuum survey planned for the new Australian
Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope, due to be completed in
2012. The primary goal of EMU is to make a deep ($\sim 10\mu$Jy/bm rms) radio
continuum survey of the entire Southern Sky at 1.4 GHz, extending as far North
as +30$\deg$ declination, with a 10 arcsec resolution. EMU is expected to
detect and catalog about 70 million galaxies, including typical star-forming
galaxies up to z=1, powerful starbursts to even greater redshifts, and AGNs to
the edge of the Universe. EMU will undoubtedly discover new classes of object.
Here I present the science goals and survey parameters.
