We present the first results from the Australia Telescope Large Area Survey(ATLAS), which consist of deep radio observations of a 3.7 square degree fieldsurrounding the Chandra Deep Field South, largely coincident with the infraredSpitzer Wide-Area Extragalactic (SWIRE) Survey. We also listcross-identifications to infrared and optical photometry data from SWIRE, andground-based optical spectroscopy. A total of 784 radio components areidentified, corresponding to 726 distinct radio sources, nearly all of whichare identified with SWIRE sources. Of the radio sources with measuredredshifts, most lie in the redshift range 0.5-2, and include both star-forminggalaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN). We identify a rare population ofinfrared-faint radio sources which are bright at radio wavelengths but are notseen in the available optical, infrared, or X-ray data. Such rare classes ofsources can only be discovered in wide, deep surveys such as this.Comment: Accepted by A
