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项目聚焦银道坐标系最高纬度区域，旨在搜寻脉冲星与快速射电暴（FRBs）。我们利用优化的GPU代码及超级计算技术开展实时搜寻，实现即时发现。鉴于SKA第一阶段时代需实时处理流入数据，本工作可直接适配下一代望远镜的高数据率需求。我们发现的脉冲星通常为邻近闪烁源、间歇性源及特殊双星系统中的源；快速射电暴的发现滞后时间仅约1秒（而非数月至数年），并通过专用VOEvent格式与《天文学家电报》向全球后续观测社群发送快速警报。此举旨在实现已发现快速射电暴的定位，这是识别其宿主星系的关键——既能解开起源天体之谜，也可将其作为工具应用于精密宇宙学测量。
