Progress continues with MWAX, the MWA’s new 256-tile fringe-stopping, real-time correlator and beamformer. Cross-validation of visibility outputs against the existing correlator continues. The benchmark performance for 256 tiles has been positive and has validated the planned architecture of 24 GPU-accelerated servers for the current receiver architecture. Parallel work towards possible new...

In this talk, I won't try and tell you how to get a proposal accepted by the TAC. Instead, I'll talk about how to write 'Part C', the actual details of what you want the telescope to do, if the TAC accepts the proposal. As the person who turns accepted proposals into scheduled MWA observations, I'll describe what information I need, and how to present it in a way that makes my job easier, and...

This new extension has enabled a possibility of downloading calibrated data sets in standard radio-astronomy data formats (CASA measurement sets or UV FITS files) via the MWA ASVO web page or API. Therefore, allowing any researcher worldwide, without a detailed knowledge...
