Mining the time axis with TRON - III. Discovery of a nulling pulsar towards the SMC with MeerKAT

T. Blecher, M. Geyer, O. M. Smirnov +21

We report on the discovery of a nulling pulsar, PSR J00527551, in archival MeerKAT L-band observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The discovery was made using the imag…

Radio Follow-Up of Einstein Probe Fast X-Ray Transients

Carmen Choza, Joe S. Bright, Francesco Carotenuto +3

Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are brief, luminous bursts of soft X-ray emission whose physical origins remain uncertain. The Einstein Probe (EP) mission has recently enabled prompt…

Mining the time axis with TRON. I. Millisecond pulsars in Omega Centauri, Terzan 5 and 47 Tucanae detected through MeerKAT interferometric imaging

Oleg M. Smirnov, Ian Heywood, Marisa Geyer +13

Medium-timescale (minutes to hours) radio transients are a relatively unexplored population. The wide field-of-view and high instantaneous sensitivity of instruments such as MeerKA…

Anomaly Detection and Radio-frequency Interference Classification with Unsupervised Learning in Narrowband Radio Technosignature Searches

Ben Jacobson-Bell, Steve Croft, Carmen Choza +7

The search for radio technosignatures is an anomaly detection problem: Candidate signals represent needles of interest in the proverbial haystack of radio-frequency interference (R…
