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-…

Spectral energy distribution and radio halo of NGC 253 at low radio frequencies

A. D. Kapinska, L. Staveley-Smith, R. Crocker +67

We present new radio continuum observations of NGC253 from the Murchison Widefield Array at frequencies between 76 and 227 MHz. We model the broadband radio spectral energy distrib…

A Matched Filter Technique For Slow Radio Transient Detection And First Demonstration With The Murchison Widefield Array

L. Feng, R. Vaulin, J. N. Hewitt +30

Many astronomical sources produce transient phenomena at radio frequencies, but the transient sky at low frequencies (<300 MHz) remains relatively unexplored. Blind surveys with ne…

The Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array Dish III: Measuring Chromaticity of Prototype Element with Reflectometry

Nipanjana Patra, Aaron R. Parsons, David R. DeBoer +54

The experimental efforts to detect the redshifted 21 cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) are limited predominantly by the chromatic instrumental systematic effect. The d…
