THE LOW-FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS OF PSR J0437-4715 OBSERVED WITH THE MURCHISON WIDE-FIELD ARRAY

We report on the detection of the millisecond pulsar PSR J0437-4715 with the Murchison Wide-field Array (MWA) at a frequency of 192 MHz. Our observations show rapid modulations of pulse intensity in time and frequency that arise from diffractive scintillation effects in the interstellar medium (ISM)...
