چکیده
We detect and characterise extended, diffuse radio emission from galaxy clusters at 168 MHz within the Epoch of Reionization 0-hour field: a $45^\circ \times 45^\circ$ region southern sky centred on R.~A.${}= 0^\circ$, decl.${}=-27^\circ$. 29 sources interest; newly detected halo in Abell 0141; relic 2751; 4 new candidates further candidates; phoenix candidate 2556. Additionally, we find 9 with unclassifiable, steep-spectrum as well double system associated RXC J2351.0-1934. present measured source properties such their integrated flux densities, spectral indices ($\alpha$, where $S_\nu \propto \nu^\alpha$), sizes possible. several to have ultra-steep spectra including 0141, if confirmed, showing $\alpha \leq -2.1 \pm 0.1$ data making it one steepest-spectrum haloes known. Finally, compare our sample previously revisit established scaling relations power ($P_{1.4}$) cluster X-ray luminosity ($L_{\mathrm{X}}$) mass ($M_{500}$). that are consistent $P_{1.4}$-$L_{\mathrm{X}}$ $P_{1.4}$-$M_{500}$ relations, see an increase scatter found increasing size likely caused by inhomogeneous determination $P_{1.4}$ across full sample. show MWA is capable detecting relics most Planck catalogue Sunyaev-Zel'dovich depending exact or properties.

The Murchison Widefield Array Correlator
The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Precursor. The telescope is located at the Murchison Radio–astronomy Observatory (MRO) in Western Australia (WA). The MWA consists of 4096 dipoles arranged into 128 dual polarisation aperture arrays forming a connected element interferometer that cross-correlates signals from all 256 inputs. A hybrid approach to the correlati...
متن کاملThe giant lobes of Centaurus A observed at 118 MHz with the Murchison Widefield Array
We present new wide-field observations of Centaurus A (Cen A) and the surrounding region at 118 MHz with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) 32-tile prototype, with which we investigate the spectral-index distribution of Cen A’s giant radio lobes. We compare our images to 1.4 GHz maps of Cen A and compute spectral indices using temperature-temperature plots and spectral tomography. We find that...

متن کاملHigh-energy sources at low radio frequency: the Murchison Widefield Array view of Fermi blazars
Context. Low-frequency radio arrays are opening a new window for the study of the sky, both to study new phenomena and to better characterize known source classes. Being flat-spectrum sources, blazars are so far poorly studied at low radio frequencies. Aims. We characterize the spectral properties of the blazar population at low radio frequency, compare the radio and high-energy properties of t...
