MURCHISON WIDEFIELD ARRAY OBSERVATIONS OF ANOMALOUS VARIABILITY: A SERENDIPITOUS NIGHT-TIME DETECTION OF INTERPLANETARY SCINTILLATION

We present observations of high-amplitude rapid (2 s) variability toward two bright, compact extragalactic radio sources out of several hundred of the brightest radio sources in one of the 30° X 30° Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) Epoch of Reionization fields using the MWA at 155 MHz. After rejectin...
