(1) Finding new pulsars using CHIME FRB & (2) Searching the entirety of Kepler data: New exoplanets
Event Start:

Event Information:
ABSTRACT 1: The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment was originally built to observe the hydrogen gas existing in the Universe, in order to measure the baryon acoustic oscillations. However, due to the nature of the telescope, it is also particularly effective at detecting transient events, such as the relatively new phenomenon, fast radio bursts (FRBs). Fortuitously, it turns out that the very distant FRBs have characteristics similar to those of some nearby pulsars.
