We describe an ultra-wide-bandwidth, low-frequency receiver ("UWL") recently installed on the Parkes radio telescope. The receiver system provides continuous frequency coverage from 704 to 4032 MHz. For much of the band (~60%) the system temperature is approximately 22K and the receiver system remains in a linear regime even in the presence of strong mobile phone transmissions. We discuss the scientific and technical aspects of the new receiver including its astronomical objectives, as well as the feed, receiver, digitiser and signal-processor design. We describe the pipeline routines that form the archive-ready data products and how those data files can be accessed from the archives. The system performance is quantified including the system noise and linearity, beam shape, antenna efficiency, polarisation calibration and timing stability.

  1. The Southern-sky MWA Rapid Two-metre (SMART) pulsar survey--IV. Survey update and an atlas of 205 non-recycled southern pulsars

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Atlas of 205 non-recycled southern pulsars at 140–170 MHz from MWA SMART data, with profiles, DMs, RMs, fluxes and public data products for SKA-Low.

  2. Constraints on Ultralight Scalar and Dark Photon Dark Matter from PPTA-DR3 and EPTA-DR2

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Bayesian analysis of PPTA-DR3 and EPTA-DR2 finds no statistically significant ULDM signals and sets 95% CL upper limits on scalar and dark photon dark matter, improving prior bounds in most mass ranges.

  3. Rapid Response Triggering for Radio Transients with the SKA Observatory

    astro-ph.IM 2026-07 accept novelty 3.0

    SKA-Low and SKA-Mid should implement automated rapid-response triggering on external and internal alerts to enable early radio observations of diverse transients.

  4. Measurements of magnetic fields in circumnuclear matter with the SKA telescopes

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 accept novelty 2.5

    SKA-Mid/Low plus VLBI should enable Zeeman and broadband RM measurements of AGN circumnuclear magnetic fields from ~100 pc disks down to sub-pc scales that current instruments largely cannot reach.
