The ATCA-SAMI Cluster Survey P.I.: Julie Banfield (ANU; julie.banfield@anu.edu.au) 1. Science and Legacy Value Scientific Aims: This ATCA legacy project tackles one of the outstanding puzzles of astrophysics today ­ How do galaxies and black holes co-evolve? Combining observations at multiple wavelengths is essential for understanding the physics of galaxy evolution. This project will quantitatively measure the quenching of galaxies and the effect of radio mode quenching of star-formation at the massive end of the galaxy scale through the effect of radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) on their host galaxy and their environment. We will combine data from the ATCA at 1 ­ 10 GHz with the unprecedented dynamical and environmental data available as part of the SAMI (Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral-field spectrograph; Bryant et al. 2015) survey. This combination of data provides the necessary information to trace the environmental impact of a black hole on its environment and to connect the black hole to the physical properties of galaxies. We will target 6 SAMI cluster fields (Table 1) to: (1)
determine the extent of the interaction between radio-loud AGN and the cluster environment through the mixing of thermal material with the relativistic AGN lobe plasma via Faraday rotation measurements (i.e., Bicknell et al. 1990); (2)
measure environment-driven star formation histories of cluster galaxy members surrounding the radioloud AGN to quantify the "sphere-of-influence" of the AGN and how much radio-loud outflows affect the star formation history of neighbouring galaxies (Shabala et al. 2011); (3)
measure the quenching of galaxies as they enter cluster environments via the processes of stripping, starvation and strangulation; (4)
time-stamp AGN feedback through spectral aging of the radio sources across the ATCA broadband; and (5)
measure the intra-cluster magnetic field through measurement of the rotation measure of polarized radio sources as a function of distance from the cluster centre. Our secondary science goals are to: (1)
measure the HI absorption (or obtain upper limits) against the brightest background continuum sources to determine the HI column density in the ICM across each galaxy cluster; (2)
trace the shocks driven into the intra-cluster medium (ICM) by cluster mergers, observable as diffuse relic sources in the radio continuum; and (3)
measure the variable properties of AGN and the surrounding ICM through comparing multiple epochs of observations of radio-loud AGN within each cluster and rotation measure variations in background radio sources caused by changing ICM properties. Legacy Value: The SAMI Galaxy Survey is unique. No other program (in press or planned) provides the wealth of specific galaxy information delivered for sources in a cluster environment provided by the detailed dynamical analysis from SAMI. Our ATCA legacy project will augment this powerful visible wavelength data set and provide the astronomical community with the required radio frequency data spanning 1 ­ 10 GHz. In the context of the dense cluster environment, for the the first time with detailed galaxy kinematic analysis, these new data allow fundamental hypotheses underpinning galaxy and cluster evolution (e.g., AGN feedback in a variety of cluster environments, environment driven star formation histories) to finally be tested directly. Alongside data from the SDSS, SkyMapper, AAOmega, VST/ATLAS, WISE, ROSAT, Chandra, XMM-Newton and MWA archives, these data will provide the final panchromatic pieces of the data puzzle to stimulate new observational methods and theoretical modelling to constrain and guide the physics of galaxy evolution. A key technical component of our proposed observations will be the characterization of the 16cm and 4cm feeds for accurate polarization measurements. This technical study, undertaken by the leading experts at the ATNF as part of a focused science analysis, will define the tools and procedures necessary for the wider astronomical community to utilize the ATCA to its full potential.

16cm and 4cm CABB bands (1 ­ 10 GHz). 16cm: IF 1 with 2048 x 1 MHz channels for radio continuum and IF 2 with 32 x 64 MHz channels with one zoom band centered on the cluster velocities to measure HI absorption. 4cm: IF 1 at 5.5 GHz and IF 2 at 9.5 GHz with 2048 x 1 MHz channels. 5 array configurations (6, 1.5, 750, 375, any hybrid) with each configuration observed each semester throughout the project. 5 µJy beam-1, total HI mass per beam = 1- 2 x 109 solar masses, and SFR density of approx. 2 x 10-4 Msun yr-1 kpc-2. 2550 hours (total) with 465 hours in the first semester to include feed characterisation (48 hours) and 417 hours per semester thereafter.

Specific team expertise not yet identified or non-standard ATCA capability required: We require accurate feed characterization for wide-field wide-band imaging including polarization. We have included an estimate of 48 hours in our total observing time. These observations will need to be completed at the beginning of the project in order to maximize our science output from the start of the legacy project.
