First Season MWA EoR Power Spectrum Results at Redshift 7

A. P. Beardsley, B. J. Hazelton, I. S. Sullivan +63

The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) has collected hundreds of hours of Epoch of Reionization (EoR) data and now faces the challenge of overcoming foreground and systematic contamin…

A High Reliability Survey of Discrete Epoch of Reionization Foreground Sources in the MWA EoR0 Field

P. A. Carroll, J. Line, M. F. Morales +61

Detection of the Epoch of Reionization HI signal requires a precise understanding of the intervening galaxies and AGN, both for instrumental calibration and foreground removal. We…

Ionospheric Modelling using GPS to Calibrate the MWA. II: Regional ionospheric modelling using GPS and GLONASS to estimate ionospheric gradients

B. S. Arora, J. Morgan, S. M. Ord +18

We estimate spatial gradients in the ionosphere using the Global Positioning System (GPS) and GLONASS (Russian global navigation system) observations, utilising data from multiple…

The 154 MHz radio sky observed by the Murchison Widefield Array: noise, confusion and first source count analyses

T. M. O. Franzen, C. A. Jackson, A. R. Offringa +30

We analyse a 154 MHz image made from a 12 h observation with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) to determine the noise contribution and behaviour of the source counts down to 30 m…

Beamforming Errors in Murchison Widefield Array Phased Array Antennas and their effects on Epoch of Reionization Science

A. R. Neben, J. N. Hewitt, R. F. Bradley +28

Accurate antenna beam models are critical for radio observations aiming to isolate the redshifted 21cm spectral line emission from the Dark Ages and the Epoch of Reionization and u…

The Importance of Wide-field Foreground Removal for 21 cm Cosmology: A Demonstration With Early MWA Epoch of Reionization Observations

J. C. Pober, B. J. Hazelton, A. P. Beardsley +66

In this paper we present observations, simulations, and analysis demonstrating the direct connection between the location of foreground emission on the sky and its location in cosm…
