8000 individual pulses detected from Vela

 

Vela_Single_Pulses

We have used baseband data to feed our single pulse engine (developed by Andrew Jameson) with our tied array beam – and behold UTMOST has detected its first single pulses from the heavens from Vela. We detected almost 8000 single pulses the best of which are shown above – note also the scattering in the profiles as the radio waves leave the supernova remnant.
