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-view, excellent instantaneous (u, v)-coverage and…

The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is an electronically steered low frequency ($<300$\,MHz) radio interferometer, with a `slew' time less than 8seconds. Low frequency ($\sim 100$\,MHz) radio telescopes are ideally suited for rapid-response…

The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a new low frequency radio telescope operating on the Square Kilometre Array site in Western Australia. MWA is generating tens of terabytes of data daily. The size of the required data storage has…
