A High Resolution Survey of the Galactic Plane at 408 MHz
Albert Tung, Roland Kothes, Tom Landecker +6
The interstellar medium is a complex 'ecosystem' with gas constituents in the atomic, molecular, and ionized states, dust, magnetic fields, and relativistic particles. The Canadian…
Canadian Investigations of the Interstellar Medium
Alex S. Hill, Jan Cami, Laura Fissel +10
The interstellar medium mediates galactic evolution as the reservoir of material for future star formation and the repository of energy and matter output by stellar processes. Cana…
Magnetism Science with the Square Kilometre Array
George Heald, Sui Ann Mao, Valentina Vacca +41
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will answer fundamental questions about the origin, evolution, properties, and influence of magnetic fields throughout the Universe. Magnetic field…
Calibrating CHIME, A New Radio Interferometer to Probe Dark Energy
Laura B. Newburgh, Graeme E. Addison, Mandana Amiri +32
The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) is a transit interferometer currently being built at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO) in Penticton, BC…
Cosmic Magnetism
Jennifer West, Jo-Anne Brown, Bryan Gaensler +9
Magnetic fields are involved in every astrophysical process on every scale: from planetary and stellar interiors to neutron stars, stellar wind bubbles and supernova remnants; from…
The DRAO Planck Deep Fields: the polarization properties of radio galaxies at 1.4 GHz
Julie Grant, Russ Taylor, Jeroen Stil +4
We present results of deep polarization imaging at 1.4 GHz with the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory as part of the DRAO Planck Deep Fields project. This deep extragalactic…
The Southern Twenty-centimetre All-sky Polarization Survey (STAPS): survey description and maps
Xiaohui Sun, Marijke Haverkorn, Ettore Carretti +6
We present data processing and verification of the Southern Twenty-centimetre All-sky Polarization Survey (STAPS) conducted with Murriyang, the Parkes 64-m telescope. The survey co…
CHIME/FRB Outriggers: KKO Station System and Commissioning Results
Adam E. Lanman, Shion Andrew, Mattias Lazda +43
Localizing fast radio bursts (FRBs) to their host galaxies is an essential step to better understanding their origins and using them as cosmic probes. The CHIME/FRB Outrigger progr…
Probing the Magnetized Interstellar Medium Surrounding the Planetary Nebula Sh 2-216
Ryan Ransom, Bulent Uyaniker, Roland Kothes +1
We present 1420 MHz polarization images of a 2.5 X 2.5 degree region around the planetary nebula (PN) Sh 2-216. The images are taken from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS).…
Measuring magnetism in the Milky Way with the Square Kilometre Array
Marijke Haverkorn, Takuya Akahori, Ettore Carretti +17
Magnetic fields in the Milky Way are present on a wide variety of sizes and strengths, influencing many processes in the Galactic ecosystem such as star formation, gas dynamics, je…
A Catalogue of Radio Supernova Remnants and Candidate Supernova Remnants in the EMU/POSSUM Galactic Pilot Field
Brianna D. Ball, Roland Kothes, Erik Rosolowsky +15
We use data from the pilot observations of the EMU/POSSUM surveys to study the "missing supernova remnant (SNR) problem", the discrepancy between the number of Galactic SNRs that h…
A Synoptic VLBI Technique for Localizing Non-Repeating Fast Radio Bursts with CHIME/FRB
Calvin Leung, Juan Mena-Parra, Kiyoshi Masui +17
We demonstrate the blind interferometric detection and localization of two fast radio bursts (FRBs) with 2- and 25-arcsecond precision on the 400-m baseline between the Canadian Hy…
A New Distance to the Supernova Remnant DA 530 Based on HI Absorption of Polarized Emission
Rebecca A. Booth, Roland Kothes, Tom Landecker +4
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are significant contributors of matter and energy to the interstellar medium. Understanding the impact and the mechanism of this contribution requires kno…
