ALFABURST: A realtime fast radio burst monitor for the Arecibo telescope

Jayanth Chennamangalam, Aris Karastergiou, David MacMahon +7

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) constitute an emerging class of fast radio transient whose origin continues to be a mystery. Realizing the importance of increasing coverage of the search…

Intrinsic Instrumental Polarization and High-Precision Pulsar Timing

Griffin Foster, Aris Karastergiou, Remi Paulin +3

Radio telescopes are used to accurately measure the time of arrival (ToA) of radio pulses in pulsar timing experiments that target mostly millisecond pulsars (MSPs) due to their hi…

Calibrating the absolute amplitude scale for air showers measured at LOFAR

A. Nelles, J. R. Hörandel, T. Karskens +74

Air showers induced by cosmic rays create nanosecond pulses detectable at radio frequencies. These pulses have been measured successfully in the past few years at the LOw Frequency…

Limits on Fast Radio Bursts at 145 MHz with ARTEMIS, a real-time software backend

A. Karastergiou, J. Chennamangalam, W. Armour +22

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), are millisecond radio signals that exhibit dispersion larger than what the Galactic electron density can account for. We have conducted a 1446 hour survey…
