The High Time Resolution Universe: High-Latitude Survey Data

The Parkes High Time Resolution Universe (HTRU) Legacy Survey is a comprehensive radio survey of our own Milky Way galaxy and beyond, led by researchers at Swinburne University of Technology. Over a 6 year period (from 2008 to 2013) the survey has, and will continue to, discover astrophysical objects such as pulsars (rapidly rotating neutron stars), rotating radio transients and potentially sources of gravitational waves. The survey has exceptional sensitivity to short-duration extragalactic radio bursts, or millisecond pulsars, resulting from the substational increase in frequency resolution compared to previous surveys.

帕克斯高时间分辨率宇宙（HTRU）遗产巡天（Parkes High Time Resolution Universe (HTRU) Legacy Survey）是一项由斯威本科技大学（Swinburne University of Technology）研究人员主导的、覆盖银河系及河外空间的综合性射电巡天项目。该巡天项目在2008年至2013年的六年周期内开展，目前已发现并将持续探测到各类天体物理源，包括脉冲星（快速旋转的中子星）、旋转射电暂现源，以及潜在的引力波辐射源。相较于此前的射电巡天项目，本次巡天的频率分辨率得到了显著提升，因此对短时标河外射电爆发或毫秒脉冲星具备卓越的探测灵敏度。
