Description

Recent estimates of the extragalactic radio background revealed the probable presence of a population of faint but numerous sources contributing for the majority of the background emission. In this talk, I will discuss how to test this hypothesis by studying 1-point and 2-point correlations in the radio sky. I will outline relevant current data and analysis, and highlight forecasts for the SKA and its precursors.
