Judd Bowman Arizona State University

The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a low-frequency radio telescope operating between 80 and 300 MHz. It consists of 128 phased-array dipole antenna tiles providing 31 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth, a 30° field of view, and up to arcminute angular resolution. The MWA is operated by an international collaboration, including partners from Australia, India, New Zealand, and the United States.

We expect to schedule approximately 1,600 hours of observing during the 2014B semester, 1 July through 31 December 2014. We are pleased to invite proposals from all communities.

The deadline for proposals for the 2014B semester is 18 April 2014. The announcement of opportunity and full call for proposals can be found on theMWA page, along with additional information about the telescope. Questions regarding this call for proposals can be directed to the MWA Project Scientist, Judd Bowman.
