Overview of the Canadian Hydrogen Observatory and Radio Transient Detector (CHORD) Project
The CHORD Collaboration, Kevin Bandura, Leonid Belostotski +49
The Canadian Hydrogen Observatory and Radio-transient Detector (CHORD) is a next-generation wideband radio interferometer currently being constructed and commissioned at the Domini…
Architecture and Validation of the CRS F-Engine for the CHORD Radio Telescope
Ian Hendricksen, Jean-François Cliche, Matt Dobbs +1
We introduce the design of the t0.technology Control and Readout System (CRS) F-Engine that will be used for the Canadian Hydrogen Observatory and Radio transient Detector (CHORD),…
Estimating Soil Electrical Parameters in the Canadian High Arctic from Impedance Measurements of the MIST Antenna Above the Surface
I. Hendricksen, R. A. Monsalve, V. Bidula +13
The MIST experiment aims to detect the cosmological 21-cm signal through sky observations at 25-125 MHz using a wide-beam antenna. The antenna is mounted above the soil and the bea…
A low-cost ice melt monitoring system using wind-induced motion of mass-balance stakes
Felix St-Amour, H. Cynthia Chiang, Jamie Cox +4
Surface ablation measurements of glaciers are critical for understanding mass change over time. Mass-balance stakes are commonly used for localized measurements, with the exposed l…
Using the antenna impedance to estimate soil electrical parameters for the MIST global 21-cm experiment
Cinthia Altamirano, Ricardo Bustos, Raul A. Monsalve +11
Radio experiments trying to detect the global ~cm signal from the early Universe are very sensitive to the electrical properties of their environment. For ground-based experime…
CHIME/FRB Outriggers: Design Overview
FRB Collaboration, Mandana Amiri, Bridget C. Andersen +66
The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) has emerged as the world's premier facility for studying fast radio bursts (FRBs) through its fast transient search backe…
