Primary Beam and Dish Surface Characterization at the Allen Telescope Array by Radio Holography

ATA GROUP, Shannon Atkinson, D. C. Backer +46

The Allen Telescope Array (ATA) is a cm-wave interferometer in California, comprising 42 antenna elements with 6-m diameter dishes. We characterize the antenna optical accuracy usi…

The Allen Telescope Array Fly's Eye Survey for Fast Radio Transients

Andrew P. V. Siemion, Geoffrey C. Bower, Griffin Foster +6

The relatively unexplored fast radio transient parameter space is known to be home to a variety of interesting sources, including pulsars, pulsar giant pulses and non-thermal emiss…

Measuring the mass of solar system planets using pulsar timing

D. J. Champion, G. B. Hobbs, R. N. Manchester +19

High-precision pulsar timing relies on a solar-system ephemeris in order to convert times of arrival (TOAs) of pulses measured at an observatory to the solar system barycenter. Any…

The Allen Telescope Array Twenty-centimeter Survey - A 690-Square-Degree, 12-Epoch Radio Dataset - I: Catalog and Long-Duration Transient Statistics

Steve Croft, Geoffrey C. Bower, Rob Ackermann +48

We present the Allen Telescope Array Twenty-centimeter Survey (ATATS), a multi-epoch (12 visits), 690 square degree radio image and catalog at 1.4GHz. The survey is designed to det…

Imaging an Event Horizon: submm-VLBI of a Super Massive Black Hole

Sheperd Doeleman, Eric Agol, Don Backer +20

A long standing goal in astrophysics is to directly observe the immediate environment of a black hole with angular resolution comparable to the event horizon. Realizing this goal w…
