Fifty years of pulsar candidate selection: from simple filters to a new principled real-time classification approach

TL;DR: In this paper, the Gaussian Hellinger Very Fast Decision Tree (GH-VFDT) was used to select promising candidates using a purpose-built tree-based machine learning classifier.
Journal ArticleDOI

Possible periodic activity in the repeating FRB 121102

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results from a radio monitoring campaign of Fast Radio Bursts (FRB~121102) using the 76-m Lovell telescope and report a detection of periodic behaviour of the source over the span of five years of data.
Journal ArticleDOI

The MeerKAT Telescope as a Pulsar Facility: System verification and early science results from MeerTime

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe system verification tests and early science results from the pulsar processor (PTUSE) developed for the newly commissioned 64-dish SARAO MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gravitational-wave Constraints on the Equatorial Ellipticity of Millisecond Pulsars

Richard J. Abbott, +1424 more
TL;DR: In this article, a search for continuous gravitational waves from five radio pulsars, comprising three recycled pulsars (PSR J0437-4715, PSR J0711-6830, and PSRJ0737-3039A), was presented.
