1 Marcus Ziegler SCIPP/UCSCPulsar Meeting DC2 1 Fourier Transform with differences on Simulated and Real Pulsar Data UPDATE Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope Marcus Ziegler Bill Atwood Brian Baughman Robert Johnson

2 Marcus Ziegler SCIPP/UCSCPulsar Meeting DC2 2 Basic Idea take only differences with  t < max_diff typical max_diff = 10 000s typical EGRET viewingperiod ~ 1 000 000s Calculate the Fourier-Transform of the time differences of the photon arrival times  t n.

3 Marcus Ziegler SCIPP/UCSCPulsar Meeting DC2 3 Dependence on max_diff The dependence of the signal width on max_diff Pulse width ~ 1/max_diff Simmulated Pulsar at 10Hz Power RMS off peak is called Noise Small max_diff + Small number of differences (fast) + Coarse stepping in Frequency space (fast) -Large noise (Small S/N ratio) Large max_diff + Good S/N ratio - Large number of differences (very slow)
