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.

  1. Modelling Radio Frequency Interference on the Lunar Farside

    astro-ph.IM 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.

  2. A Square Kilometre Array Pulsar Census

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5

    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.
