Data challenges in pulsar searches by Van Heerden, E

“…This shortfall in pulsar detections can be attributed to radio frequency interference (RFI), red noise and scintillation (Lazarus et al. 2015).</p> <p>For this thesis, and in order to investigate and quantify these claims, I first developed a new technique to simulate pulsar search data that contain different types of RFI and varying noise baselines (i.e. red noise). …”
