A high time resolution study of the millisecond pulsar J2241-5236 at frequencies below 300 MHz

D. Kaur, N. D. R. Bhat, S. E. Tremblay +20

One of the major challenges for pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments is the mitigation of the effects of the turbulent interstellar medium (ISM) from timing data. These can potent…

Gridded and direct Epoch of Reionisation bispectrum estimates using the Murchison Widefield Array

Cathryn M. Trott, Catherine A. Watkinson, Christopher H. Jordan +42

We apply two methods to estimate the 21~cm bispectrum from data taken within the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR) project of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). Using data acquired wit…

Hunting for radio emission from the intermittent pulsar J1107-5907 at low frequencies

B. W. Meyers, S. E. Tremblay, N. D. R. Bhat +30

The rare intermittent pulsars pose some of the most challenging questions surrounding the pulsar emission mechanism, but typically have relatively minimal low-frequency (…

The Phase II Murchison Widefield Array: Design Overview

Randall B. Wayth, Steven J. Tingay, Cathryn M. Trott +26

We describe the motivation and design details of the "Phase II" upgrade of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope. The expansion doubles to 256 the number of antenna t…
