A search for Fast Radio Bursts at low frequencies with Murchison Widefield Array high time resolution imaging
S. J. Tingay, C. M. Trott, R. B. Wayth +26
We present the results of a pilot study search for Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) at low frequencies (139 - 170 MHz). We utilised MWA data obtai…
Quantifying ionospheric effects on time-domain astrophysics with the Murchison Widefield Array
Shyeh Tjing Loi, Tara Murphy, Martin E. Bell +39
Refraction and diffraction of incoming radio waves by the ionosphere induce time variability in the angular positions, peak amplitudes and shapes of radio sources, potentially comp…
Murchison Widefield Array Observations of Anomalous Variability: A Serendipitous Night-time Detection of Interplanetary Scintillation
D. L. Kaplan, S. J. Tingay, P. K. Manoharan +33
We present observations of high-amplitude rapid (2 s) variability toward two bright, compact extragalactic radio sources out of several hundred of the brightest radio sources in on…
Simultaneous Observations of Giant Pulses from the Crab Pulsar, with the Murchison Widefield Array and Parkes Radio Telescope: Implications for the Giant Pulse Emission Mechanism
S. I. Oronsaye, S. M. Ord, N. D. R. Bhat +28
We report on observations of giant pulses from the Crab pulsar performed simultaneously with the Parkes radio telescope and the incoherent combination of the Murchison Widefield Ar…
Broadband Spectral Modeling of the Extreme Gigahertz-Peaked Spectrum Radio Source PKS B0008-421
J. R. Callingham, B. M. Gaensler, R. D. Ekers +40
We present broadband observations and spectral modeling of PKS B0008-421, and identify it as an extreme gigahertz-peaked spectrum (GPS) source. PKS B0008-421 is characterized by th…
Ionospheric modelling using GPS to calibrate the MWA. 1: Comparison of first order ionospheric effects between GPS models and MWA observations
B. S. Arora, J. Morgan, S. M. Ord +56
We compare first order (refractive) ionospheric effects seen by the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) with the ionosphere as inferred from Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The f…
Confirmation of Wide-Field Signatures in Redshifted 21 cm Power Spectra
Nithyanandan Thyagarajan, Daniel C. Jacobs, Judd D. Bowman +52
We confirm our recent prediction of the "pitchfork" foreground signature in power spectra of high-redshift 21 cm measurements where the interferometer is sensitive to large-scale s…
Power spectrum analysis of ionospheric fluctuations with the Murchison Widefield Array
Shyeh Tjing Loi, Cathryn M. Trott, Tara Murphy +45
Low-frequency, wide field-of-view (FoV) radio telescopes such as the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) enable the ionosphere to be sampled at high spatial completeness. We present th…
Empirical Covariance Modeling for 21 cm Power Spectrum Estimation: A Method Demonstration and New Limits from Early Murchison Widefield Array 128-Tile Data
Joshua S. Dillon, Abraham R. Neben, Jacqueline N. Hewitt +52
The separation of the faint cosmological background signal from bright astrophysical foregrounds remains one of the most daunting challenges of mapping the high-redshift intergalac…
An analysis of the halo and relic radio emission from Abell 3376 from Murchison Widefield Array observations
Lijo T. George, K. S. Dwarakanath, M. Johnston-Hollitt +48
We have carried out multiwavelength observations of the near-by () rich, merging galaxy cluster Abell 3376 with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). As a part of the GaLac…

Detection of the fluctuations in 21 cm line emission from neutral hydrogen during the Epoch of Reionization in thousand hour integrations poses stringent requirements on calibratio…
GLEAM: The GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA survey
R. B. Wayth, E. Lenc, M. E. Bell +52
GLEAM, the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA survey, is a survey of the entire radio sky south of declination +25 deg at frequencies between 72 and 231 MHz, made with the Murc…
Real-time imaging of density ducts between the plasmasphere and ionosphere
Shyeh Tjing Loi, Tara Murphy, Iver H. Cairns +38
Ionization of the Earth's atmosphere by sunlight forms a complex, multi-layered plasma environment within the Earth's magnetosphere, the innermost layers being the ionosphere and p…
