Fundamental Limitations on the Calibration of Redundant 21 cm Cosmology Instruments and Implications for HERA and the SKA
Ruby Byrne, Miguel F. Morales, Bryna Hazelton +7
Precise instrument calibration is critical to the success of 21 cm Cosmology experiments. Unmitigated errors in calibration contaminate the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) signal, prec…
The Bias and Uncertainty of Redundant and Sky-Based Calibration under Realistic Sky and Telescope Conditions
Ronniy C. Joseph, Cathryn M. Trott, Randall B. Wayth
The advent of a new generation of low frequency interferometers has opened a direct window into the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR). However, key to a detection of the faint 21-cm sign…
The effect of baseline layouts on the EoR foreground wedge: a semi-analytical approach
Steven G. Murray, Cathryn M. Trott
The 2D power spectrum is a cornerstone of the modern toolkit for analysis of the low-frequency radio interferometric observations of the 21 cm signal arising from the early Univers…
Assessment of ionospheric activity tolerances for Epoch of Reionisation science with the Murchison Widefield Array
Cathryn M. Trott, C. H. Jordan, S. G. Murray +20
Structure imprinted in foreground extragalactic point sources by ionospheric refraction has the potential to contaminate Epoch of Reionisation (EoR) power spectra of the 21~cm emis…
The Phase II Murchison Widefield Array: Design Overview
Randall B. Wayth, Steven J. Tingay, Cathryn M. Trott +26
We describe the motivation and design details of the "Phase II" upgrade of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope. The expansion doubles to 256 the number of antenna t…
In situ measurement of MWA primary beam variation using ORBCOMM
J. L. B. Line, B. McKinley, J. Rasti +21
We provide the first in situ measurements of antenna element (tile) beam shapes of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), a low radio-frequency interferometer and an SKA precursor. M…
Observations of Low-Frequency Radio Emission from Millisecond Pulsars and Multipath Propagation in the Interstellar Medium
N. D. R. Bhat, S. E. Tremblay, F. Kirsten +23
Studying the gravitational-wave sky with pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) is a key science goal for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and its pathfinder telescopes. With current PTAs rea…
Comparing Redundant and Sky Model Based Interferometric Calibration: A First Look with Phase II of the MWA
W. Li, J. C. Pober, B. J. Hazelton +53
Interferometric arrays seeking to measure the 21 cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization must contend with overwhelmingly bright emission from foreground sources. Accurate recover…
A Serendipitous MWA Search for Narrow-band and Broad-band Low Frequency Radio Transmissions from 1I/2017 U1 'Oumuamua
S. J. Tingay, D. L. Kaplan, E. Lenc +18
We examine data from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in the frequency range 72 -- 102 MHz for a field-of-view that serendipitously contained the interstellar object 'Oumuamua o…
The Square Kilometre Array Epoch of Reionisation and Cosmic Dawn Experiment
Cathryn M. Trott
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Epoch of Reionisation and Cosmic Dawn (EoR/CD) experiments aim to explore the growth of structure and production of ionising radiation in the first…
Source finding in the era of the SKA (precursors): Aegean 2.0
Paul J. Hancock, Cathryn M. Trott, Natasha Hurley-Walker
In the era of the SKA precursors, telescopes are producing deeper, larger images of the sky on increasingly small time-scales. The greater size and volume of images place an increa…
