摘要:

我们目前的无线电瞬态搜索算法,结果和统计数据正在进行的阿雷西博脉冲星ALFA(PALFA)调查的银河平面。我们通过检测孤立的分散脉冲发现了七个物体,其中一个新发现的占空比为0.01%,是已知的最小占空比。选择效应对间歇源的可探测性和分类的影响进行了讨论,并比较了不同脉冲星类别的周期性与单脉冲搜索的相对效率。我们发现,闪烁,离轴检测和几个旋转周期内的观察可能会误认为间歇源正常的周期性双星。最后,我们从PALFA调查参数和结果中推导出瞬态脉冲率和通量密度的约束条件。

英文摘要:

We present radio transient search algorithms, results, and statistics from the ongoing Arecibo Pulsar ALFA (PALFA) Survey of the Galactic plane. We have discovered seven objects by detecting isolated dispersed pulses and one of the new discoveries has a duty cycle of 0.01%, the smallest known. The impact of selection effects on the detectability and classification of intermittent sources is discussed, and the relative efficiencies of periodicity vs. single pulse searches are compared for various pulsar classes. We find that scintillation, off-axis detection and few rotation periods within an observation may misrepresent normal periodic pulsars as intermittent sources. Finally, we derive constraints on transient pulse rate and flux density from the PALFA survey parameters and results.
