In this paper we describe the system design and capabilities of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope at the conclusion of its construction project and commencement of science operations. ASKAP is one of the first radio telescopes to deploy phased array feed (PAF) technology on a large scale, giving it an instantaneous field of view that covers 31 square degrees at 800 MHz. As a two-dimensional array of 36x12m antennas, with baselines ranging from 22m to 6km, ASKAP also has excellent snapshot imaging capability and 10 arcsecond resolution. This, combined with 288 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth and a unique third axis of rotation on each antenna, gives ASKAP the capability to create high dynamic range images of large sky areas very quickly. It is an excellent telescope for surveys between 700 MHz and 1800 MHz and is expected to facilitate great advances in our understanding of galaxy formation, cosmology and radio transients while opening new parameter space for discovery of the unknown.

Detection of X-ray Emission from a Bright Long-Period Radio Transient
A bright long-period radio transient shows periodic X-ray emission at the same 44.2-minute period, making it the first LPT detected in X-rays and establishing a new class of hour-scale periodic X-ray transients.

The One-Loop Power Spectrum of Fast Radio Burst Dispersion Measures
A one-loop EFT power spectrum model for FRB free-electron clustering matches FLAMINGO simulations to k ~ 0.2 h/Mpc, with electron bias b_e ~ 0.92 and near-perfect electron-matter correlation.

Helical radio jets as probes of magnetised cluster environments: Periodic Faraday Rotation Revealed in the Corkscrew Galaxy by POSSUM
Periodic RM oscillations matching the Corkscrew jet's lateral deviations reveal a transition from jet/sheath to local-ICM Faraday media along the flow.

Two new highly scattered fast radio bursts: evidence for scatter broadening by the circumsource medium
FRB240312D is the first highly scattered FRB whose scattering screen is localized to within about 8 pc of the source, with the two new bursts implying a rate consistent with shorter FRBs.

The most extreme high-z radio quasars in the eRASS:1 X-ray survey
The team confirmed 39 new high-redshift radio quasars and found that the number of X-ray-selected blazars at z>4 grows with redshift faster than a constant X-ray/radio ratio model, in broad agreement with the IC/CMB model.
