Parkes observations for project P892 semester 2019APRS_07

SUPERBx looks at the highest Galactic latitudes in a search for pulsars and fast radio bursts (FRBs). We use optimised GPU codes and supercomputing to search for these, making discoveries in real time. Handling our data as it comes in is essential for the SKA Phase I era so this work applies directly to the high-data rates of next generation telescopes. Our pulsar discoveries are typically nearby scintillating sources, intermittent sources and those in interesting binary systems. Our FRB discoveries have discovery lags of ~1 second, rather than months/years and these feed rapid alerts to the world-wide follow-up community via a dedicated VOEvent format an Astronomer's Telegrams. The goal of this is to allow localisation of the discovered FRBs. This is key for identifying FRB host galaxies, so as to solve the mystery of their progenitors and to exploit their many uses as tools for precision cosmology measurements.

SUPERBx项目聚焦于最高银纬区域，旨在搜寻脉冲星与快速射电暴（FRB）。我们采用优化的GPU代码与超级计算技术开展实时搜寻，实现发现的即时性。在平方公里阵列望远镜一期（SKA Phase I）时代，实时处理传入数据至关重要，因此本工作可直接应用于下一代望远镜的高数据率场景。我们发现的脉冲星通常为邻近的闪烁源、间歇源或处于特殊双星系统中的源。FRB的发现延迟仅约1秒（而非数月或数年），并通过专用的VOEvent格式与《天文学家电报》向全球后续观测社区发出快速警报。此举旨在实现FRB的定位，这是确定其宿主星系的关键，进而解开FRB前身星的谜团，并利用其作为精密宇宙学测量工具的多种价值。
