The statistics of low frequency radio interference at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory
read the original abstract
We characterize the low frequency radio-frequency interference (RFI) environment at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory (MRO), the location selected for the low-frequency component of the Square Kilometre Array. Data were collected from the BIGHORNS instrument, located at the MRO, which records a contiguous bandwidth between 70 and 300 MHz, between November 2014 to March 2015 inclusive. The data were processed to identify RFI, and we describe a series of statistics in both the time and frequency domain, including modeling of the RFI occupancy and signal power as a series of distribution functions, with the goal of aiding future scientists and operation staff in observation planning.

Modelling Radio Frequency Interference on the Lunar Farside
Planned lunar satellites will increasingly contaminate the farside radio band; under this model, ≥30 dB uniform UEMR shielding is required to keep peak RFI below LFT3-like sensitivity.

A Square Kilometre Array Pulsar Census
Composite SKA-Low + Mid Band 1/2 all-sky surveys with AA* yield ~10k slow pulsars and ~800 MSPs; AA4 yields ~20% more, rising to ~1300 MSPs if Mid coverage is broadened.
