Scintillation Bandwidth Measurements from 23 Pulsars from the AO327 Survey

Sofia Z. Sheikh, Grayce C. Brown, Jackson MacTaggart +15

A pulsar's scintillation bandwidth is inversely proportional to the scattering delay, making accurate measurements of scintillation bandwidth critical to characterize unmitigated d…

Precise Measurements of Self-absorbed Rising Reverse Shock Emission from Gamma-ray Burst 221009A

Joe S. Bright, Lauren Rhodes, Wael Farah +18

The deaths of massive stars are sometimes accompanied by the launch of highly relativistic and collimated jets. If the jet is pointed towards Earth, we observe a "prompt" gamma-ray…

Searching for broadband pulsed beacons from 1883 stars using neural networks

Vishal Gajjar, Dominic LeDuc, Jiani Chen +19

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence at radio frequencies has largely been focused on continuous-wave narrowband signals. We demonstrate that broadband pulsed beacons are e…

The Breakthrough Listen Search For Intelligent Life Near the Galactic Center I

Vishal Gajjar, Karen I. Perez, Andrew P. V. Siemion +23

A line-of-sight towards the Galactic Center (GC) offers the largest number of potentially habitable systems of any direction in the sky. The Breakthrough Listen program is undertak…

A Statistical Analysis of the Nulling Pulsar Population

Sofia Z. Sheikh, Mariah G. MacDonald

Approximately 8% of the 2800 known pulsars exhibit "nulling," a temporary broadband cessation of normal pulsar emission. Nulling behaviour can be coarsely quantified by the n…

Re-Analysis of Breakthrough Listen Observations of FRB 121102: Polarization Properties of Eight New Spectrally Narrow Bursts

Jakob T. Faber, Vishal Gajjar, Andrew P. V. Siemion +15

We report polarization properties for eight narrowband bursts from FRB 121102 that have been re-detected in a high-frequency (4-8 GHz) Breakthrough Listen observation with the Gree…
