The Spectral Variability of the GHz-Peaked Spectrum Radio Source PKS 1718-649 and a Comparison of Absorption Models

S. J. Tingay, J. -P. Macquart, J. D. Collier +42

Using the new wideband capabilities of the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), we obtain spectra for PKS 1718-649, a well-known gigahertz-peaked spectrum radio source. The ob…

The first Murchison Widefield Array low frequency radio observations of cluster scale non-thermal emission: the case of Abell 3667

L. Hindson, M. Johnston-Hollitt, N. Hurley-Walker +51

We present the first Murchison Widefield Array observations of the well-known cluster of galaxies Abell 3667 (A3667) between 105 and 241 MHz. A3667 is one of the best known example…

The low-frequency characteristics of PSR J0437-4715 observed with the Murchison Widefield Array

N. D. Ramesh Bhat, S. M. Ord, S. E. Tremblay +37

We report on the detection of the millisecond pulsar PSR J0437-4715 with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) at a frequency of 192 MHz. Our observations show rapid modulations of p…

Study of Redshifted HI from the Epoch of Reionization with Drift scan

Sourabh Paul, Shiv K. Sethi, Ravi Subrahmanyan +37

The detection of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) in the redshifted 21-cm line is a challenging task. Here we formulate the detection of the EoR signal using the drift scan strategy…
