Description

The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) is a new radio array that allows us to map atomic hydrogen (HI) and hydroxide (OH) at unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. I will present an overview of the Galactic ASKAP Survey (GASKAP), which aims to map HI and OH throughout the Galactic Plane and Magellanic System. I will highlight how the HI and OH data from GASKAP will help provide the large-scale ISM context for the roles high energy particles and cosmic rays play in shaping the ISM and star formation.
