Transient Astronomical Sources at Radio Frequencies

澳大利亚的射电望远镜是世界上最好和最现代化的望远镜之一，也是唯一可以研究南半球天空的仪器。 塔斯马尼亚大学在塔斯的霍巴特和南澳大利亚的塞杜纳设有两个射电观测站，它们一起用来探测同时到达这两个地点的天文脉冲。 干扰抑制、色散搜索、宽带快速采样以及Ceduna和霍巴特之间的高速数据传输技术将在本项目中实现，这些技术在科学和通信行业中具有直接应用。 将开发这种设备的学生将把他们的专业知识带到私营部门。

Australian radio telescopes are among the finest and most modern anywhere in the world, and they are the only such instruments that can study the Southern Hemisphere sky. The University of Tasmania operates two radio observatories, at Hobart, Tas, and Ceduna, SA, that are used together to detect astronomical pulses arriving simultaneously at the two sites. The techniques of interference suppression, dispersion searching, fast sampling over broad bandwidths, and high speed data transmission between Ceduna and Hobart that will be implemented in this project have direct applications in science and the communications industry. The students who will develop this equipment will carry over their expertise to the private sector.
