KAT-7 observations of a mass-selected sample of galaxy clusters

G. Bernardi, T. Venturi, R. Cassano +7

The presence of megaparsec-scale radio halos in galaxy clusters has already been established by many observations over the last two decades. The emerging explanation for the format…

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…

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…
