Digital spectrum whitening followed by re-quantization introduces a previously unrecognized systematic distortion in the gain-versus-frequency response of radio telescopes, reaching levels problematic for 21 cm cosmology.

abstract
We present the DSA-2000: a world-leading radio survey telescope and multi-messenger discovery engine for the next decade. The array will be the first true radio camera, outputting science-ready image data over the 0.7 - 2 GHz frequency range with a spatial resolution of 3.5 arcsec. With 2000 x 5 m dishes, the DSA-2000 will have an equivalent point-source sensitivity to SKA1-mid, but with ten times the survey speed. The DSA-2000 is envisaged as an all-sky survey instrument complementary to the ngVLA, and as a counterpart to the LSST (optical), SPHEREx (near-infrared) and SRG/eROSITA (X-ray) all-sky surveys. Over a five-year prime phase, the DSA-2000 will image the entire sky above declination -30 degrees every four months, detecting > 1 unique billion radio sources in a combined full-Stokes sky map with 500 nJy/beam rms noise. This all-sky survey will be complemented by intermediate and deep surveys, as well as spectral and polarization image cubes. The array will be a cornerstone for multi-messenger science, serving as the principal instrument for the US pulsar timing array community, and by searching for radio afterglows of compact object mergers detected by LIGO and Virgo. The array will simultaneously detect and localize ~10,000 fast radio bursts each year, realizing their ultimate use as a cosmological tool. The DSA-2000 will be proposed to the NSF Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure-2 program with a view to first light in 2026

Stacking 3455 CHIME/FRB sightlines on 1288 SDSS voids shows a 3.2 sigma DM deficit toward centers, implying 60 percent baryon underdensity consistent with galaxy underdensity and hydrodynamical simulations.
3D kinetic simulations of pre-merger binary neutron star magnetospheres predict nonthermal gamma-ray signals at ~16 MeV and fast radio burst-like radio transients from reconnecting current sheets.
Massive black hole binary mergers produce orphaned low-frequency signals in PTA pulsar terms that can be stacked for archival multiband gravitational-wave detection.
Two long period radio transients are detached white dwarf-M dwarf binaries with matching periods, massive cool crystallized white dwarfs, low inclinations, and an estimated population of 100-2000 such systems within 2 kpc.
FRB dispersion is an approximately unbiased tracer of matter on linear scales, enabling direct constraints on the baryonic parameter B8 independently of feedback and with statistical power comparable to weak lensing using far fewer objects.
FRB DMs correlate at 2.6-5 sigma with galaxies, weak lensing, CIB, CMB lensing, tSZ, X-ray clusters, SXRB and radio continuum, consistent with moderate feedback models while ruling out weak feedback at 3.5 sigma via SXRB-DM.
FRB dispersion measures directly constrain suppression of the matter power spectrum due to feedback at k ~ 0.1-3 h/Mpc, reduce posterior variance by a factor of ~8 at k~1 h/Mpc, and exclude extreme large-scale feedback scenarios at ~2 sigma.
Presents one-component KL as a lower-effort alternative to full KL for cosmic shear that simulations show is not yet competitive with WL for shallow HI radio surveys but could exceed WL for deeper spectroscopic surveys with stronger emission lines.
Proposes an FRB-based estimator F_G combining galaxy-DM and weak-lensing cross-correlations to measure G_light at ~10% precision in 10 redshift bins at z≲1 under a conservative k-cut.
CHIME/FRB has now cataloged 80 repeating FRB sources whose burst rates and upper limits are consistent with a power-law distribution implying 50-100% of all FRBs repeat.
CASM-256 is a new 256-antenna radio array at Owens Valley that uses real-time digital beamforming to search for fast radio bursts and galactic transients over a huge sky area.
The Argus Array and DSA are projected to detect 47 and 82 long GRB afterglows per year respectively from Fermi triggers, along with over 100 independent detections annually and some short GRB counterparts.
Six new Galactic radio transients found and classified into two types, proposed to originate from wide-orbit white dwarf binaries.
Simulations demonstrate that Cosmic Explorer can robustly constrain cosmology and host galaxy parameters from GW-FRB associations using luminosity distance-dispersion measure relations without spectroscopic redshifts, unlike the current LIGO-Virgo network.
Wideband observations show M28A giant pulses differ from FRB 20200120E bursts in duration, luminosity, timing statistics, and spectral structure, yielding no strong evidence for a direct link.
Reports results from two searches for new radio lenses in existing surveys and discusses the completeness of the population usable for constraining dark matter properties via astrometric perturbations.
Matching FRB QPOs to crustal modes constrains the neutron star mass to 1.00-1.76 solar masses, radius to ~13 km, and nuclear symmetry energy slope L to 59.5-96.8 MeV.
