Pulsar Search Collaboratory Team Disney Modified Julian Date: 55764

 Mission statement:  To gain scientific skill in order to detect pulsars from radio data.  Radio astronomy is the study of electromagnetic emissions of celestial bodies in the universe.  Manmade objects also generate radio signals (RFI).

 Forty-foot Telescope  Object: 3c 295  Distance: 5.6 billion light years or 1.73 billion pc  RA: 14:09:33  DEC: 52:26:13 * Actual Jy is 23 Jy 500 Jy ~33 Jy

 15 datasets were analyzed for pulsars  Results of evaluation:  Bodacious RFI and noise  Possible candidates  Known pulsars 00:32 -06:22

19:21 -16:11 *12:05 -16:08

*J01:08 -14:31 *J09:44 -13:54

 Observing time: 00:30-2:00  Contribution: Using PYTHON to direct the GBT and to grid data.  Candidates: 19:21-16:11, 22:43+69:39, 21:07-16:12

 Unable to observe all plots  Mainly RFI or noise 19:21 -15:5821:07 -16:11

 Observe Period/time  Be Prepared for Problems  Patience is a Virtue  Murphy’s Law  Be thorough in observation and experimentation  Be open to all impossible possibilities

 Sue Ann Heatherly  Sean Leake and all student mentors  Sarah Scoles  TO ALL TEACHERS!  Duncan and Maura  Ryan Lynch and Peter  The GBT for being the coolest telescope EVER  NRAO for making this possible and tolerating us in our wildest moments
