Discoveries and Timing of Pulsars in NGC 6440

L. Vleeschower, B. W. Stappers, M. Bailes +19

Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, a series of observations have been conducted to time the known pulsars and search for new pulsars in the globular cluster NGC 6440. As a result,…

MeerTRAP: Twelve Galactic fast transients detected in a real-time, commensal MeerKAT survey

M. C. Bezuidenhout, E. Barr, M. Caleb +9

MeerTRAP is a real-time untargeted search project using the MeerKAT telescope to find single pulses from fast radio transients and pulsars. It is performed commensally with the Mee…

An analysis of the time-frequency structure of several bursts from FRB121102 detected with MeerKAT

E. Platts, M. Caleb, B. W. Stappers +11

We present a detailed study of the complex time-frequency structure of a sample of previously reported bursts of FRB 121102 detected with the MeerKAT telescope in September 2019. T…

Multi-frequency observations of SGR J1935+2154

M. Bailes, C. G. Bassa, G. Bernardi +54

Magnetars are a promising candidate for the origin of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). The detection of an extremely luminous radio burst from the Galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154 on 2020…

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…
