Initial results from a realtime FRB search with the GBT
Devansh Agarwal, D. R. Lorimer, M. P. Surnis +11
We present the data analysis pipeline, commissioning observations and initial results from the GREENBURST fast radio burst (FRB) detection system on the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank T…
GREENBURST: a commensal fast radio burst search back-end for the Green Bank Telescope
Mayuresh P. Surnis, Devansh Agarwal, Duncan R. Lorimer +13
We describe the design and deployment of GREENBURST, a commensal Fast Radio Burst (FRB) search system at the Green Bank Telescope. GREENBURST uses the dedicated L-band receiver tap…
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…
A Decade of Developing Radio-Astronomy Instrumentation using CASPER Open-Source Technology
Jack Hickish, Zuhra Abdurashidova, Zaki Ali +33
The Collaboration for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research (CASPER) has been working for a decade to reduce the time and cost of designing, building and deploying n…
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…
Implementation of a Direct-Imaging and FX Correlator for the BEST-2 Array
Griffin Foster, Jack Hickish, Alessio Magro +2
A new digital backend has been developed for the BEST-2 array at Radiotelescopi di Medicina, INAF-IRA, Italy which allows concurrent operation of an FX correlator, and a direct-ima…
Current and Nascent SETI Instruments
Andrew P. V. Siemion, Jeff Cobb, Henry Chen +13
Here we describe our ongoing efforts to develop high-performance and sensitive instrumentation for use in the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI). These efforts includ…
