1. Team hulse pulsar collaboration

2. Questions to be answered:
~ What data sets were examined?
~ how many were candidates?
What makes them probable pulsars?
~ How many were non candidates?
what makes them non candidates?
~ What is the team’s methodology?
~ Can improvements be made?

3. methodology Team splits up plots
looks through plots for the first time
weeds out obvious non candidates
Documents possible candidates
Has team review documented candidates
Team decides what should go up for final review
Likely pulsar candidates are posted for review on the gbt.

4. What data sets were examined?
300 plots total

5. How many were non candidates?
299
Non candidates

6. The lone candidate 1
Candidate
As well as 1 known pulsar

7. 1 possible candidate plot 1

8. 1 possible candidate plot 2

9. 1 known pulsar B
Plot Plot 2

10. 299 non candidates
What was it?
RFI

11. 299 non candidates Why is it RFI? plot 1 plot 2
Pulse profile: Oscillating.
Time series: too wide.
Sub-band: not at all frequencies.
DM: is okay but does not have one good peak.
plot 2
Pulse profile: looks okay.
Time series: too wide.
Sub-band: too wide.
Dm: dm is at zero.

12. Can improvements be made?
~ change hot key locations
~ change comment box layout
Pulse Profile:
Appears to be random noise.
Time:
Does not match Pulse Profile.
Sub-band:
Shows narrow band characteristics.
DM:
Shows little significance.

13. conclusion
If continued under the present conditions, the nrao psc should be a very successful program, identifying many new pulsars.
