Accurate antenna beam models are critical for radio observations aiming to isolate the redshifted 21cm spectral line emission from the Dark Ages and the Epoch of Reionization and unlock the scientific potential of 21cm cosmology. Past work…

We describe the design, validation, and commissioning of a new correlator termed "MWAX" for the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) low-frequency radio telescope. MWAX replaces an earlier generation MWA correlator, extending correlation…

We provide the first in situ measurements of antenna element (tile) beam shapes of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), a low radio-frequency interferometer and an SKA precursor. Most current MWA processing pipelines use an assumed beam…

Measurements of 21 cm Epoch of Reionization (EoR) structure are subject to systematics originating from both the analysis and the observation conditions. Using 2013 data from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), we show the importance of…

Although several existing and upcoming telescopes have imaging as their primary mode, they also have a sensitive phased-array mode with a multiple-beam forming capability enabling high time resolution studies of several types of objects,…
