Collaborative Research: Synergistic Study of Fast Radio Bursts and Pulsar Giant Pulse Emission

这项合作奖将支持人员使用绿岸L波段(1.4千兆赫)的20米望远镜完成对最近发现的快速射电爆发(FRB)的共生搜索。该项目名为GBTrans，将利用现有的基础设施和开发。这项工作的更广泛影响包括对一名研究生和两名本科生的研究培训，以及对高中生和他们的老师的接触，以加强研究经验，这是由NSF资助的由NRAO和WVU的研究人员运营的“脉冲星搜索合作实验室”的一部分。GBTrans还将对已知射电脉冲星的巨型脉冲进行广泛搜索，并将对最亮的此类脉冲的统计提供限制。该仪器的一项重要能力是它的全极化记录，它将识别FRB的偏振特性，甚至可能识别它们的旋转测量。

This collaborative award will support personnel to complete a commensal search for the recently discovered Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) using the 20-m telescope at Green Bank at L-band (1.4 GHz). The project, GBTrans, will utilize existing infrastructure and development. Broader impacts of the work include research training of one graduate student and two undergrads, and outreach to high-school students and their teachers to enhance the research experience as part of the NSF-funded "Pulsar Search Collaboratory" which is run by researchers at NRAO and WVU.GBTrans will also perform extensive searches for giant pulses from known radio pulsars, and will provide constraints on the statistics of the brightest such pulses. An important capability of the instrument is its full-polarization recording, which will identify the polarization properties of FRBs and perhaps even their rotation measures.
