The second set of pulsar discoveries by CHIME/FRB/Pulsar: 14 Rotating Radio Transients and 7 pulsars

Understand

The Canadian Hydrogen Mapping Experiment (CHIME) is a radio telescope located in British Columbia, Canada.

• The large FOV allows CHIME/FRB to be an exceptional pulsar and Rotating Radio Transient (RRAT) finding machine, despite saving only the metadata of incoming Galactic events.
• We have developed a pipeline to search for pulsar/RRAT candidates using DBSCAN, a clustering algorithm.
• Follow-up observations are then scheduled with the more sensitive CHIME/Pulsar instrument capable of near-daily high time resolution spectra observations.
