Characterization of a Low-Frequency Radio Astronomy Prototype Array in Western Australia
A. T. Sutinjo, T. M. Colegate, R. B. Wayth +12
We report characterization results for an engineering prototype of a next-generation low-frequency radio astronomy array. This prototype, which we refer to as the Aperture Array Ve…
The impact of the ionosphere on ground-based detection of the global Epoch of Reionisation signal
Marcin Sokolowski, Randall B. Wayth, Steven E. Tremblay +7
The redshifted 21cm line of neutral hydrogen (Hi), potentially observable at low radio frequencies (~50-200 MHz), is a promising probe of the physical conditions of the inter-galac…
Quantifying ionospheric effects on time-domain astrophysics with the Murchison Widefield Array
Shyeh Tjing Loi, Tara Murphy, Martin E. Bell +39
Refraction and diffraction of incoming radio waves by the ionosphere induce time variability in the angular positions, peak amplitudes and shapes of radio sources, potentially comp…
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…
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…
GLEAM: The GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA survey
R. B. Wayth, E. Lenc, M. E. Bell +52
GLEAM, the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA survey, is a survey of the entire radio sky south of declination +25 deg at frequencies between 72 and 231 MHz, made with the Murc…
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…
Foregrounds in Wide-Field Redshifted 21 cm Power Spectra
Nithyanandan Thyagarajan, Daniel C. Jacobs, Judd D. Bowman +61
Detection of 21~cm emission of HI from the epoch of reionization, at redshifts z>6, is limited primarily by foreground emission. We investigate the signatures of wide-field measure…
The Murchison Widefield Array Correlator
S. M. Ord, B. Crosse, D. Emrich +64
The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Precursor. The telescope is located at the Murchison Radio--astronomy Observatory (MRO) in Western Australia (…
The High Time and Frequency Resolution Capabilities of the Murchison Widefield Array
S. E. Tremblay, S. M. Ord, N. D. R. Bhat +37
The science cases for incorporating high time resolution capabilities into modern radio telescopes are as numerous as they are compelling. Science targets range from exotic sources…
Antenna array characterization via radio interferometry observation of astronomical sources
T. M. Colegate, A. T. Sutinjo, P. J. Hall +12
We present an in-situ antenna characterization method and results for a "low-frequency" radio astronomy engineering prototype array, characterized over the 75-300 MHz frequency ran…
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 (…
BIGHORNS - Broadband Instrument for Global HydrOgen ReioNisation Signal
M. Sokolowski, S. E. Tremblay, R. B. Wayth +12
The redshifted 21cm line of neutral hydrogen (HI), potentially observable at low radio frequencies (~50-200 MHz), should be a powerful probe of the physical conditions of the inter…
