The low-frequency environment of the Murchison Widefield Array: radio-frequency interference analysis and mitigation

A. R. Offringa, R. B. Wayth, N. Hurley-Walker +62

The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a new low-frequency interferometric radio telescope built in Western Australia at one of the locations of the future Square Kilometre Array (…

Galactic synchrotron distribution derived from 152 HII region absorption features in the full GLEAM survey

H. Su, J. P. Macquart, N. Hurley-Walker +22

We derive the synchrotron distribution in the Milky Way disk from HII region absorption observations over -40° < l < 40° at six frequencies of 76.2, 83.8, 91.5, 99.2, 106.9, and…

Ionospheric modelling using GPS to calibrate the MWA. 1: Comparison of first order ionospheric effects between GPS models and MWA observations

B. S. Arora, J. Morgan, S. M. Ord +56

We compare first order (refractive) ionospheric effects seen by the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) with the ionosphere as inferred from Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The f…

Ionospheric Modelling using GPS to Calibrate the MWA. II: Regional ionospheric modelling using GPS and GLONASS to estimate ionospheric gradients

B. S. Arora, J. Morgan, S. M. Ord +18

We estimate spatial gradients in the ionosphere using the Global Positioning System (GPS) and GLONASS (Russian global navigation system) observations, utilising data from multiple…

Murchison Widefield Array Observations of Anomalous Variability: A Serendipitous Night-time Detection of Interplanetary Scintillation

D. L. Kaplan, S. J. Tingay, P. K. Manoharan +33

We present observations of high-amplitude rapid (2 s) variability toward two bright, compact extragalactic radio sources out of several hundred of the brightest radio sources in on…

EMU: Evolutionary Map of the Universe

Ray P. Norris, A. M. Hopkins, J. Afonso +54

EMU is a wide-field radio continuum survey planned for the new Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope. The primary goal of EMU is to make a deep (rms ~ 10 m…
