The RATT PARROT: serendipitous discovery of a peculiarly scintillating pulsar in MeerKAT imaging observations of the Great Saturn-Jupiter Conjunction of 2020. I. Dynamic imaging and data analysis
O. M. Smirnov, B. W. Stappers, C. Tasse +11
We report on a radiopolarimetric observation of the Saturn-Jupiter Great Conjunction of 2020 using the MeerKAT L-band system, initially carried out for science verification purpose…
IQRM: real-time adaptive RFI masking for radio transient and pulsar searches
V. Morello, K. M. Rajwade, B. W. Stappers
In a search for short timescale astrophysical transients in time-domain data, radio-frequency interference (RFI) causes both large quantities of false positive candidates and a sig…
MeerTRAP in the era of multi-messenger astrophysics
Kaustubh Rajwade, Benjamin Stappers, Christopher Williams +9
Real-time detections of transients and rapid multi-wavelength follow-up are at the core of modern multi-messenger astrophysics. MeerTRAP is one such instrument that has been deploy…
Real-time triggering capabilities for Fast Radio Bursts at the MeerKAT telescope
F. Jankowski, M. Berezina, B. W. Stappers +9
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are bright enigmatic radio pulses of roughly millisecond duration that come from extragalactic distances. As part of the MeerTRAP project, we use the MeerK…
Verifying and Reporting Fast Radio Bursts
Griffin Foster, Aris Karastergiou, Marisa Geyer +6
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are a class of short-duration transients at radio wavelengths with inferred astrophysical origin. The prototypical FRB is a broadband signal that occurs ov…
ALFABURST: A commensal search for Fast Radio Bursts with Arecibo
Griffin Foster, Aris Karastergiou, Golnoosh Golpayegani +12
ALFABURST has been searching for Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) commensally with other projects using the Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA) receiver at the Arecibo Observatory since July…
SETIBURST: A Robotic, Commensal, Realtime Multi-Science Backend for the Arecibo Telescope
Jayanth Chennamangalam, David MacMahon, Jeff Cobb +9
Radio astronomy has traditionally depended on observatories allocating time to observers for exclusive use of their telescopes. The disadvantage of this scheme is that the data thu…
Commissioning of ALFABURST: initial tests and results
Kaustubh Rajwade, Jayanth Chennamangalam, Duncan Lorimer +7
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are apparently one-time, relatively bright radio pulses that have been observed in recent years. The origin of FRBs is currently unknown and many instrumen…
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…
