Assessment of Ionospheric Activity Tolerances for Epoch of Reionization Science with the Murchison Widefield Array

Structure imprinted in foreground extragalactic point sources by ionospheric refraction has the potential to contaminate Epoch of Reionization (EoR) power spectra of the 21 cm emission line of neutral hydrogen. The alteration of the spatial and spectral structure of foreground measurements due to to...
