On the Detectability of the Hydrogen 3-cm Fine Structure Line from the EoR

Mark Dijkstra, Adam Lidz, Jonathan R. Pritchard +4

A soft ultraviolet radiation field, 10.2 eV < E <13.6 eV, that permeates neutral intergalactic gas during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) excites the 2p (directly) and 2s (indirect…

Real-Time Calibration of the Murchison Widefield Array

D. A. Mitchell, L. J. Greenhill, R. B. Wayth +5

The interferometric technique known as peeling addresses many of the challenges faced when observing with low-frequency radio arrays, and is a promising tool for the associated cal…

Lensview: Software for modelling resolved gravitational lens images

Randall B. Wayth, Rachel L. Webster

We have developed a new software tool, Lensview, for modelling resolved gravitational lens images. Based on the LensMEM algorithm, the software finds the best fitting lens mass mod…

A microlensing measurement of the size of the broad emission line region in the lensed QSO 2237+0305

Randall B. Wayth, Matthew O'Dowd, Rachel L. Webster

We present spatially resolved spectroscopic images of the gravitationally lensed QSO 2237+0305 taken with the GMOS Integral Field Unit (IFU) on the Gemini North telescope. These ob…

The lens and source of the optical Einstein ring gravitational lens ER 0047-2808

Randall B. Wayth, Stephen J. Warren, Geraint F. Lewis +1

(Abridged) We perform a detailed analysis of the optical gravitational lens ER 0047-2808 imaged with WFPC2 on the Hubble Space Telescope. Using software specifically designed for t…

H1517+656: the Birth of a BL Lac Object?

Matthew O'Dowd, C. Megan Urry, Riccardo Scarpa +2

H1517+656 is an unusual source, even for a BL Lac object. It is one of the most luminous BL Lacs known, with extreme emission properties at radio, optical, and X-ray frequencies. F…

The dark matter halo of the gravitational lens galaxy 0047-2808

Randall B. Wayth, Rachel L. Webster

The location of the images in a multiple-image gravitational lens system are strongly dependent on the orientation angle of the mass distribution. As such, we can use the location…
