Funded Activity Summary

Transient Astronomical Sources at Radio Frequencies. Australian radio telescopes are among the finest and most modern anywhere in the world, and they are the only such instruments that can study the Southern Hemisphere sky. The University of Tasmania operates two radio observatories, at Hobart, Tas, and Ceduna, SA, that are used together to detect astronomical pulses arriving simultaneously at the two sites. The techniques of interference suppression, dispersion searching, fast sampling over broad bandwidths, and high speed data transmission between Ceduna and Hobart that will be implemented in this project have direct applications in science and the communications industry. The students who will develop this equipment will carry over their expertise to the private sector.
