Mining the time axis with TRON. I. Millisecond pulsars in Omega Centauri, Terzan 5 and 47 Tucanae detected through MeerKAT interferometric imaging

Oleg M. Smirnov, Ian Heywood, Marisa Geyer +13

Medium-timescale (minutes to hours) radio transients are a relatively unexplored population. The wide field-of-view and high instantaneous sensitivity of instruments such as MeerKA…

Africanus III. pfb-imaging -- a flexible radio interferometric imaging suite

Hertzog L. Bester, Jonathan S. Kenyon, Audrey Repetti +8

The popularity of the CLEAN algorithm in radio interferometric imaging stems from its maturity, speed, and robustness. While many alternatives have been proposed in the literature,…
