The LWA1 Radio Telescope

Abstract: Abstract-LWA1 is a new radio telescope operating in the frequency range 10-88 MHz, located in central New Mexico. The telescope consists of 258 pairs of dipole-type antennas whose outputs are individually digitized and formed into beams. Simultaneously, signals from all dipoles can be recorded using one of the instrument's "all dipoles" modes, facilitating all-sky imaging. Notable features of the instrument include high intrinsic sensitivity (≈ 6 kJy zenith system equivalent flux density), large instantaneous … Show more

“…These include a relatively wide-band (16 MHz) beam-forming mode and two transient buffer (TB) modes that each capture the signals from individual antennas, allowing for all-sky imaging after the fact. For more details of the LWA1 radio telescope, see Hicks et al (2012), Taylor et al (2012), and Ellingson et al (2013).…”

“…The LWA (Ellingson et al 2013) is colocated with the VLA in New Mexico (USA). Along with forming beams in realtime (its primary mode of operation), it can also operate in an "allsky" mode for a single tuning of 70 kHz.…”
