A short status update on the LOFAR Epoch of Reionization (EoR) Key Science Project (KSP)
is given, regarding data acquisition, data processing and analysis, and current power …

Direction-dependent calibration of widefield radio interferometers estimates the systematic
errors, along with multiple directions in the sky. This is necessary because with most …

A fundamental assumption of the data model used in radio interferometric calibration is that
the sky model only consists of compact and discrete radio sources. This assumption breaks …

In this paper we present a methodology for creating a system design for radio telescopes
based on a fixed cost budget. This methodology builds on the idea to optimize a figure of …

Precision calibration poses challenges to experiments probing the redshifted 21-cm signal
of neutral hydrogen from the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization (z∼ 30–6). In both …

Cost optimization is a common problem encountered in the design of telescopes. This paper
comprehensively discusses various radio telescope designs worldwide, focusing on their …

This paper investigates calibration of sensor arrays in the radio astronomy context. Current
and future radio telescopes require computationally efficient algorithms to overcome the new …

Distributed radio interferometric calibration based on consensus optimization has been
shown to improve the estimation of systematic errors in radio astronomical observations. The …

Aims. We describe a scalable distributed imaging algorithm framework for next-generation
radio telescopes, managing the Fourier transform from apertures to sky (or vice versa) with a …

Accurate calibration is of critical importance for new advanced interferometric systems in
radio astronomy in order to recover high resolution images with no distortions. This process …
