First Spectroscopic Imaging Observations of the Sun at Low Radio Frequencies with the Murchison Widefield Array Prototype
Divya Oberoi, Lynn D. Matthews, Iver H. Cairns +67
We present the first spectroscopic images of solar radio transients from the prototype for the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), observed on 2010 March 27. Our observations span the…
A Digital-Receiver for the Murchison Widefield Array
Thiagaraj Prabu, K. S. Srivani, D. Anish Roshi +55
An FPGA-based digital-receiver has been developed for a low-frequency imaging radio interferometer, the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). The MWA, located at the Murchison Radio-ast…
A study of fundamental limitations to statistical detection of redshifted HI from the epoch of reionization
Nithyanandan Thyagarajan, N. Udaya Shankar, Ravi Subrahmanyan +46
In this paper we explore for the first time the relative magnitudes of three fundamental sources of uncertainty, namely, foreground contamination, thermal noise and sample variance…
Fast Holographic Deconvolution: a new technique for precision radio interferometry
Ian Sullivan, Miguel Morales, Bryna Hazelton +48
We introduce the Fast Holographic Deconvolution method for analyzing interferometric radio data. Our new method is an extension of A-projection/software-holography/forward modeling…
Science with the Murchison Widefield Array
Judd D. Bowman, Iver Cairns, David L. Kaplan +58
Significant new opportunities for astrophysics and cosmology have been identified at low radio frequencies. The Murchison Widefield Array is the first telescope in the Southern Hem…
Low Frequency Imaging of Fields at High Galactic Latitude with the Murchison Widefield Array 32-Element Prototype
Christopher L. Williams, Jacqueline N. Hewitt, Alan M. Levine +54
The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a new low-frequency, wide field-of-view radio interferometer under development at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory (MRO) in Western…
