The UTMOST Survey for Magnetars, Intermittent pulsars, RRATs and FRBs I: System description and overview
V. Venkatraman Krishnan, C. Flynn, W. Farah +22
We describe the ongoing `Survey for Magnetars, Intermittent pulsars, Rotating radio transients and Fast radio bursts' (SMIRF), performed using the newly refurbished UTMOST telescop…
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…
The UTMOST: A hybrid digital signal processor transforms the MOST
M. Bailes, A. Jameson, C. Flynn +20
The Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST) is an 18,000 square meter radio telescope situated some 40 km from the city of Canberra, Australia. Its operating band (820-850…
The first interferometric detections of Fast Radio Bursts
M. Caleb, C. Flynn, M. Bailes +15
We present the first interferometric detections of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), an enigmatic new class of astrophysical transient. In a 180-day survey of the Southern sky we discovere…
FRB microstructure revealed by the real-time detection of FRB170827
W. Farah, C. Flynn, M. Bailes +24
We report a new Fast Radio Burst (FRB) discovered in real-time as part of the UTMOST project at the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Radio Telescope (MOST). FRB170827 is the first de…
Five new real-time detections of Fast Radio Bursts with UTMOST
W. Farah, C. Flynn, M. Bailes +25
We detail a new fast radio burst (FRB) survey with the Molonglo Radio Telescope, in which six FRBs were detected between June 2017 and December 2018. By using a real-time FRB detec…
Fast Radio Transient searches with UTMOST at 843 MHz
M. Caleb, C. Flynn, M. Bailes +12
We report the first radio interferometric search at 843 MHz for fast transients, particularly Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). The recently recommissioned Swinburne University of Technolo…
Hunting for radio emission from the intermittent pulsar J1107-5907 at low frequencies
B. W. Meyers, S. E. Tremblay, N. D. R. Bhat +30
The rare intermittent pulsars pose some of the most challenging questions surrounding the pulsar emission mechanism, but typically have relatively minimal low-frequency (…
The UTMOST pulsar timing programme I: overview and first results
F. Jankowski, M. Bailes, W. van Straten +15
We present an overview and the first results from a large-scale pulsar timing programme that is part of the UTMOST project at the refurbished Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Radio T…
