Improving the efficiency of pulsar search pipelines

  • What are the best techniques to counter baseline variability and red noise?
  • How can we best remove RFI in streaming and stored pulsar data?
  • Which parts of the pulsar search parameter space are less accessible using current techniques?

We are pursuing these questions through detailed simulations of instrumental noise, RFI, and pulsar signals, together with development of new algorithms.
