A Low Frequency Survey of Giant Pulses from the Crab Pulsar

Understand

We present a large survey of giant pulses from the Crab Pulsar as observed with the first station of the Long Wavelength Array.

• Automated methods for detecting giant pulses at low frequencies where scattering becomes prevalent are also explored.
• More than 1400 pulses were detected across four frequency bands between 20 - 84 MHz over a seven month period beginning in 2013, with additional followup observations in late 2014 and early 2015.
• A handful of these pulses were detected simultaneously across all four frequency bands.
