Pulsar Search Collaboratory Team Lyne ROCKS!

Introduction Pulsars are neutron stars They spin rapidly Strong magnetic fields Made from the implosion of a massive star Emit radio signals across the spectrum

Why Pulsars are Important! They are EXTREMELY accurate time keepers Can be used to study and understand space time Can help locate planets and other interstellar objects Help us understand relativity Allow us to study the physics of sub-atomic particles

Pulsar Search Collaboratory Last summer, GBT Drift Scan 130 Terabytes of data collected 30 Terabytes for students to analyze Goal: to locate unknown pulsars in the scan

Our Methodology Check Pulse Profile for regular peaks Check Phase for vertical bands Check Sub-Band for broad frequency Check DM for greater than zero and one peak Check Reduced X2 for signal

Other Phenomena RFI – Radio waves that are emitted on Earth that interfere with the radio telescope readings. Interstellar Noise – Caused by free electrons in the interstellar medium Solar Emissions traveling through space Remnants of Supernovas
