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…

Measuring the global 21-cm signal with the MWA-I: improved measurements of the Galactic synchrotron background using lunar occultation

B. McKinley, G. Bernardi, C. M. Trott +12

We present early results from a project to measure the sky-averaged (global), redshifted cm signal from the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR), using the Murchison Widefield Array (…

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…

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…

Galactic synchrotron distribution derived from 152 HII region absorption features in the full GLEAM survey

H. Su, J. P. Macquart, N. Hurley-Walker +22

We derive the synchrotron distribution in the Milky Way disk from HII region absorption observations over -40° < l < 40° at six frequencies of 76.2, 83.8, 91.5, 99.2, 106.9, and 11…

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…
