The Murchison Widefield Array Phase III upgrade: Sensitivity Doubled, Number of Baselines Quadrupled, Flexibility Enhanced, and EoR Observations Optimised
S. J. Tingay, M. Johnston-Hollitt, R. B. Wayth +32
We describe the latest iteration of upgrades (designated Phase III) to the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), in the fourth paper in a series that covers the evolution of the telesco…
RM-Tools: Software for Analyzing Polarized Radio Spectra
Cameron L. Van Eck, Cormac R. Purcell, Lerato Baidoo +19
Polarization observations using modern radio telescopes cover large numbers of frequency channels over broad bandwidths, and require advanced techniques to extract reliable scienti…
RMTable2023 and PolSpectra2023: standards for reporting polarization and Faraday rotation measurements of radio sources
C. L. Van Eck, B. M. Gaensler, S. Hutschenreuter +11
Faraday rotation measures (RMs) have been used for many studies of cosmic magnetism, and in most cases having more RMs is beneficial for those studies. This has lead to development…
Science with the Murchison Widefield Array: Phase I Results and Phase II Opportunities
A. P. Beardsley, M. Johnston-Hollitt, C. M. Trott +56
The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is an open access telescope dedicated to studying the low frequency (80300 MHz) southern sky. Since beginning operations in mid 2013, the MWA…
Source Finding in Linear Polarization for LOFAR, and SKA Predecessor Surveys, using Faraday Moments
J. S. Farnes, G. Heald, H. Junklewitz +10
The optimal source-finding strategy for linear polarization data is an unsolved problem, with many inhibitive factors imposed by the technically-challenging nature of polarization…
The challenges of low-frequency radio polarimetry: lessons from the Murchison Widefield Array
Emil Lenc, C. S. Anderson, N. Barry +26
We present techniques developed to calibrate and correct Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) low frequency (72-300 MHz) radio observations for polarimetry. The extremely wide field-of-…
The LOFAR Multifrequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS) I. Survey description and first results
G. H. Heald, R. F. Pizzo, E. Orrú +147
We present the Multifrequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS), the first northern-sky LOFAR imaging survey. In this introductory paper, we first describe in detail the motivation and de…
