Science with the Murchison Widefield Array

Low frequency radio waves give us a unique window on the Universe. New technological advances mean that we can build sensitive wide-field telescopes that can explore this regime in detail for the first time. One of the instruments designed to do this is the Murchison...

Lab tests confirm excellent imaging properties of hexabundles

We are now moving into an era where multi-object wide-field galaxy surveys, which traditionally use single fibres to observe many targets simultaneously, can exploit compact integral field units in place of single fibres. Current multi-object integral field...

New spectrograph data pipeline yields high quality results

Integral field spectroscopy provides a remarkable observational window into the most complex astrophysical objects. By obtaining spectra at multiple contiguous positions, the spatially resolved structure of star-formation and chemical enrichment can be revealed for...
