Abstract:
Pulsars are rotating neutron stars which emit faint beams of electromagnetic radiation. In pulsar searches large effort is expended to discover these pulses in time- and frequency-resolved data from radio telescopes. Simultaneously recovering the frequency-dependent delay (dispersion) and the periodicity of the signal is a complex and demanding task, which is further exacerbated by the presence of various types of radio-frequency interference (RFI) and observing-system effects.
