The jet/wind outflow in Centaurus A: a local laboratory for AGN feedback

B. McKinley, S. J. Tingay, E. Carretti +20

We present new radio and optical images of the nearest radio galaxy Centaurus A and its host galaxy NGC 5128. We focus our investigation on the northern transition region, where en…

Building models for extended radio sources: implications for Epoch of Reionisation science

Cathryn M. Trott, Randall B. Wayth

We test the hypothesis that limitations in the sky model used to calibrate an interferometric radio telescope, where the model contains extended radio sources, will generate bias i…

Calibration and Stokes Imaging with Full Embedded Element Primary Beam Model for the Murchison Widefield Array

M. Sokolowski, T. Colegate, A. T. Sutinjo +22

The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), located in Western Australia, is one of the low-frequency precursors of the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project. In addition to…

Follow up of GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart by Australian-led observing programs

I. Andreoni, K. Ackley, J. Cooke +122

The discovery of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave signal has generated follow-up observations by over 50 facilities world-wide, ushering in the new era…

The challenges of low-frequency radio polarimetry: lessons from the Murchison Widefield Array

Emil Lenc, C. S. Anderson, N. Barry +26

We present techniques developed to calibrate and correct Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) low frequency (72-300 MHz) radio observations for polarimetry. The extremely wide field-of-…
