Abstract
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is called to revolutionise essentially
all areas of Astrophysics. With a collecting area of about a square
kilometre, the SKA will be a transformational instrument, and its
scientific potential will go beyond the interests of astronomers. Its
technological challenges and huge cost requires a multinational effort,
and Europe has recognised this by putting the SKA on the roadmap of the
European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI). The
Spanish SKA White Book is the result of the coordinated effort of 120
astronomers from 40 different research centers. The book shows the
enormous scientific interest of the Spanish astronomical community in
the SKA and warrants an optimum scientific exploitation of the SKA by
Spanish researchers, if Spain enters the SKA project.
