abstract
We present a survey of the radio sky accessible from the first station of the Long Wavelength Array (LWA1). Images are presented at nine frequencies between 35 and 80 MHz with spatial resolutions ranging from $4.7^\circ$ to $2.0^\circ$, respectively. The maps cover the sky north of a declination of $-40^\circ$ and represent the most modern systematic survey of the diffuse Galactic emission within this frequency range. We also combine our survey with other low frequency sky maps to create an updated model of the low frequency sky. Due to the low frequencies probed by our survey, the updated model better accounts for the effects of free-free absorption from Galactic ionized Hydrogen. A longer term motivation behind this survey is to understand the foreground emission that obscures the redshifted 21 cm transition of neutral hydrogen from the cosmic dark ages ($z>10$) and, at higher frequencies, the epoch of reionization ($z>6$).
