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色银行的20米望远镜在L波段（1.4 GHz）完成对最近发现的快速射电爆发（FRB）的快速搜索。该项目，GBTrans，将利用现有的基础设施和发展。这项工作的更广泛影响包括对一名研究生和两名本科生进行研究培训，并与高中学生及其教师进行外联，以增强研究经验，作为NSF资助的“脉冲星搜索合作实验室”的一部分，该实验室由NRAO和WVU的研究人员运营。GBTrans还将对已知射电望远镜的巨脉冲进行广泛搜索，并且将提供对最亮的这种脉冲的统计的约束。该仪器的一个重要功能是全偏振记录，这将确定FRB的偏振特性，甚至可能是它们的旋转测量。

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.
