摘要:

最近的研究揭示了一类重要的新的瞬态无线电现象,发生在亚毫秒的时间尺度。通常,临时调查的数据量太大,无法彻底存档。相反,在线自动系统必须消除脉冲干扰并实时检测候选事件。这项工作提出了一个案例研究,使用来自多个地理分布站的数据,同时进行干扰切除和瞬态检测。我们提出了几种算法,将去分散数据从多个站点,并报告实验与一个实时瞬态检测系统的甚长基线阵列(VLBA)。我们使用脉冲星B0329+54的观测数据对系统进行了测试。多站算法提高了检测单个脉冲的灵敏度。这些策略可以提高下一代地理分布阵列的检测性能,如澳大利亚平方公里阵列探路者和平方公里阵列。

英文摘要:

Recent investigations reveal an important new class of transient radio phenomena that occur on sub-millisecond timescales. Often transient surveys' data volumes are too large to archive exhaustively. Instead, an on-line automatic system must excise impulsive interference and detect candidate events in real-time. This work presents a case study using data from multiple geographically distributed stations to perform simultaneous interference excision and transient detection. We present several algorithms that incorporate dedispersed data from multiple sites, and report experiments with a commensal real-time transient detection system on the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). We test the system using observations of pulsar B0329+54. The multiple-station algorithms enhanced sensitivity for detection of individual pulses. These strategies could improve detection performance for a future generation of geographically distributed arrays such as the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder and the Square Kilometre Array.
