A colour scheme for the display of astronomical intensity images
read the original abstract
I describe a colour scheme that is appropriate for the screen display of intensity images. This -- unlike many currently available schemes -- is designed to be monotonically increasing in terms of its perceived brightness. Also, when printed on a black and white postscript printer, the scheme results in a greyscale with monotonically increasing brightness. This scheme has recently been incorporated into the radio astronomical analysis packages CASA and AIPS.

The Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey VII: Spectra and Polarisation In Cutouts of Extragalactic Sources (SPICE-RACS) Second Data Release -- Unveiling the Magnetised Sky
SPICE-RACS DR2 produces the largest single Faraday rotation measure catalog to date from RACS-low3 observations, with 2.5e5 RMs at 6.7 per square degree over most of the southern sky.

The Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey VII: Spectra and Polarisation In Cutouts of Extragalactic Sources (SPICE-RACS) Second Data Release -- Unveiling the Magnetised Sky
SPICE-RACS DR2 delivers the largest single Faraday rotation measure catalog from a radio survey, with 250,000-340,000 RMs across most of the sky at median uncertainty of 2 rad m^{-2}.
