View MWA Correlator observation info

MWA and MWAX correlator mode:

  • Frequency averaging: 10 kHz
  • Integration time: 1 second

Even though the array was in long baseline mode, we decided to take the observation in a mode which both correlators support. MWA normally runs at 0.5 sec integration time, however MWAX supports 0.4 or 0.6 seconds. So it was decided in the interest of comparing like with like to run both at the next best setting they have in common: 1 second integration times.

Observation duration:

  • MWA: 120 seconds
  • MWAX: first 40 seconds

Data Access:

Download MWA observation via MWA ASVO: click here (24 coarse channels, metafits)

Download MWAX data from HTTP server at Curtin: click here (6 coarse channel fits files and a 'doctored metafits to be consistent with 6 coarse channels and only 40 second duration)

Receiver / Tile health:

Tiles from rec03 (112-119) produced no data in this observation for MWAX.

Tiles from rec16 (64-71) produced no data in this observation for MWAX.

Also note that tile 72 produced now no data in this observation for MWAX.


Info
titleNOTE:
The new MWAX correlator was only configured to capture the first 40 seconds of this observation (the MWA correlator would have 120 seconds) and only 6 coarse channels (the equivalent of MWA gpubox09,10,11,12,13,14).
