Giant Micropulses From Psr (2007)
Gamma Anderson Jenet, S. B. Anderson, F. A. Jenet, V. M. Kaspi, T. A. Prince, S. C. Unwin
Introduction Although individual radio pulses from pulsars vary in amplitude from pulse to pulse, their height distribution in general does not extend to amplitudes more than 10 times the mean. Two...
A Wide Bandwidth Digital Recording System for Radio Pulsar Astronomy (2007)
Jenet Cook Prince, F. A. Jenet, W. R. Cook, T. A. Prince, S. C. Unwin
The study of radio pulsars at the highest time resolution is currently limited by the capability of the signal detection system to accept a wide-bandwidth signal, and to sample the data rapidly...
