This is part of a collaborative project to search for low-frequency narrowly beamed, highly circular polarized radio emission from "hot Jupiter" extrasolar planets, as part of the HJUDE project. This emission is predicted to be bright enough to be detected by the newly commissioned LWA1 (Long Wavelength Array) radio telescope, and thus the detections (or upper limits) will be used to test planetary magnetospheric physics models. As part of the project, the PIs will train undergraduate and graduate students and a postdoctoral researcher in instrumentation, computational expertise and data reduction and analysis techniques. They will also make the software spectrometer available to other scientists in the community.

这是一个合作项目的一部分，该项目是HJUDE项目的一部分，目的是寻找来自“热木星”太阳系外行星的低频窄波束、高度圆偏振的无线电发射。 据预测，这种发射足够明亮，可以被新投入使用的LWA1（长波阵列）射电望远镜探测到，因此探测（或上限）将用于测试行星磁层物理模型。 作为该项目的一部分，PI将培训本科生和研究生以及一名博士后研究员，从事仪器仪表、计算专业知识以及数据简化和分析技术方面的培训。 他们还将向社区中的其他科学家提供软件光谱仪。
