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…
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…
Foregrounds in Wide-Field Redshifted 21 cm Power Spectra
Nithyanandan Thyagarajan, Daniel C. Jacobs, Judd D. Bowman +61
Detection of 21~cm emission of HI from the epoch of reionization, at redshifts z>6, is limited primarily by foreground emission. We investigate the signatures of wide-field measure…
The Murchison Widefield Array Correlator
S. M. Ord, B. Crosse, D. Emrich +64
The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Precursor. The telescope is located at the Murchison Radio--astronomy Observatory (MRO) in Western Australia (…
The low-frequency environment of the Murchison Widefield Array: radio-frequency interference analysis and mitigation
A. R. Offringa, R. B. Wayth, N. Hurley-Walker +62
The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a new low-frequency interferometric radio telescope built in Western Australia at one of the locations of the future Square Kilometre Array (…
