Systematic performance of the ASKAP Fast Radio Burst search algorithm
Hao Qiu, Evan F. Keane, Keith W. Bannister +2
Detecting fast radio bursts (FRBs) requires software pipelines to search for dispersed single pulses of emission in radio telescope data. In order to enable an unbiased estimation…
First measurement of interplanetary scintillation with the ASKAP radio telescope: implications for space weather
Rajan Chhetri, John Morgan, Vanessa Moss +6
We report on a measurement of interplanetary scintillation (IPS) using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope. Although this proof-of-concept obse…
Astrometric accuracy of snapshot Fast Radio Burst localisations with ASKAP
Cherie K. Day, Adam T. Deller, Clancy W. James +4
The recent increase in well-localised fast radio bursts (FRBs) has facilitated in-depth studies of global FRB host properties, the source circumburst medium, and the potential impa…
Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder: I. System Description
A. W. Hotan, J. D. Bunton, A. P. Chippendale +63
In this paper we describe the system design and capabilities of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope at the conclusion of its construction proje…
The Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey I: Design and First Results
D. McConnell, C. L. Hale, E. Lenc +46
The Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey (RACS) is the first large-area survey to be conducted with the full 36-antenna Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope. RACS…
The capability of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder to detect prompt radio bursts from neutron star mergers
Ziteng Wang, Tara Murphy, David L. Kaplan +2
We discuss observational strategies to detect prompt bursts associated with gravitational wave events using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). Many theoretic…
VOEvent Standard for Fast Radio Bursts
Emily Petroff, Leon Houben, Keith Bannister +13
Fast radio bursts are a new class of transient radio phenomena currently detected as millisecond radio pulses with very high dispersion measures. As new radio surveys begin searchi…
A deep / wide 1-2 GHz snapshot survey of SDSS Stripe 82 using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array in a compact hybrid configuration
I. Heywood, M. J. Jarvis, A. J. Baker +9
We have used the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array to image ~100 sq. deg. of SDSS Stripe 82 at 1-2 GHz. The survey consists of 1,026 snapshot observations of 2.5 minutes duration, us…
Recent Developments in Measuring Signal and Noise in Phased Array Feeds at CSIRO
A. P. Chippendale, D. McConnell, K. Bannister +6
We describe recent developments in measuring both signal and noise in phased array feeds for radio astronomy at CSIRO. We introduce new techniques including aperture array noise me…
Wide-field broadband radio imaging with phased array feeds: a pilot multi-epoch continuum survey with ASKAP-BETA
I. Heywood, K. W. Bannister, J. Marvil +45
The Boolardy Engineering Test Array is a 6 x 12 m dish interferometer and the prototype of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), equipped with the first generat…
Dynamic spectral mapping of interstellar plasma lenses
Artem V. Tuntsov, Mark A. Walker, Leon V. E. Koopmans +5
Compact radio sources sometimes exhibit intervals of large, rapid changes in their flux-density, due to lensing by interstellar plasma crossing the line-of-sight. A novel survey pr…
The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder: System Architecture and Specifications of the Boolardy Engineering Test Array
A. W. Hotan, J. D. Bunton, L. Harvey-Smith +98
This paper describes the system architecture of a newly constructed radio telescope - the Boolardy Engineering Test Array, which is a prototype of the Australian Square Kilometre A…
Memory-efficient w-projection with the fast Gauss transform
Keith W. Bannister, Tim J. Cornwell
We describe a method performing w-projection using the fast Gauss transform of Strain (1991). We derive the theoretical performance, and simulate the actual performance for a range…
