A pilot ASKAP survey of radio transient events in the region around the intermittent pulsar PSR J1107-5907
G. Hobbs, I. Heywood, M. E. Bell +75
We use observations from the Boolardy Engineering Test Array (BETA) of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope to search for transient radio sources in t…
ASKAP HI imaging of the galaxy group IC 1459
P. Serra, B. Koribalski, V. Kilborn +76
We present HI imaging of the galaxy group IC 1459 carried out with six antennas of the Australian SKA Pathfinder equipped with phased-array feeds. We detect and resolve HI in eleve…
Wide-field broadband radio imaging with phased array feeds: a pilot multi-epoch continuum survey with ASKAP-BETA
I. Heywood, K. W. Bannister, J. Marvil +45
The Boolardy Engineering Test Array is a 6 x 12 m dish interferometer and the prototype of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), equipped with the first generat…
Discovery of HI gas in a young radio galaxy at using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder
J. R. Allison, E. M. Sadler, V. A. Moss +100
We report the discovery of a new 21-cm HI absorption system using commissioning data from the Boolardy Engineering Test Array of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (A…
An ultra-wide bandwidth (704 to 4032 MHz) receiver for the Parkes radio telescope
G. Hobbs, R. N. Manchester, A. Dunning +69
We describe an ultra-wide-bandwidth, low-frequency receiver ("UWL") recently installed on the Parkes radio telescope. The receiver system provides continuous frequency coverage fro…
The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder: Performance of the Boolardy Engineering Test Array
D. McConnell, J. R. Allison, K. Bannister +71
We describe the performance of the Boolardy Engineering Test Array (BETA), the prototype for the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder telescope ASKAP. BETA is the first ape…
The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder: System Architecture and Specifications of the Boolardy Engineering Test Array
A. W. Hotan, J. D. Bunton, L. Harvey-Smith +98
This paper describes the system architecture of a newly constructed radio telescope - the Boolardy Engineering Test Array, which is a prototype of the Australian Square Kilometre A…
