Looking through the archive, I see that a bunch of people have already observed my adopted pulsar, but their integrated profiles all look differently from mine (and from each other's), so I would probably ask, "Why?" tomorrow at the web session. Since the DM was not zero, I can tell that there was not a lot of RFI in my observation.

Here is the link to my observation.]]> 2017-03-22 23:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/zodiac_webster/5vi24uia8vj/wish/161989332 Cailyn Kirkaldy: J1808-2024 https://padlet.com/zodiac_webster/5vi24uia8vj/wish/162205132 My pulsar has a period of 7494.03 milliseconds, and a dispersion measure of zero. The dispersion measure seems really wrong, but I followed all the directions, so I'm unsure why it wold be zero. I guess there is just a ton of RFI in the way of getting great data. My pulse profiles are spectacular, and I am quite proud of them. I looked to see if anyone else had observed my pulsar before and it turns out I am the only one who has used the 20m telescope to observe it. Here is my data:

Dispersion measure: 46.3
I'm still not entirely clear on how to tell if there is RFI. I'm guessing there was some (the 'two pulses of best profile' seem to have a lot of interference, is that evidence of RFI?). The high DM value seems to suggest not too much RFI.
I think I probably needed more integration time. That possibly would have made the pulses more defined (instead of having so much noise?).
My pulsar has not been observed by anyone else by the 20m.

The interference could be the result of RFI, and I think I had a satisfactory amount of integration time. I believe that I am the only one who has observed my pulsar with the 20m.

I for some reason had a lot of trouble finding my pulsar as an object with the telescope, so I used its coordinates to make my graph. I did not find anyone else who observed my pulsar due to this. I think my graphs would have looked nicer and had less noise if I had been able to find my pulsar as an object.

My pulse profiles are really good! There may be some interference due to RFI, but overall I thought the integration time was good. A lot of other people have observed my adopted pulsar. The data looks similar but only with different integration times and the observed pulses are still there.

1.004 seconds, and the dispersion measure observed was 76.711. The integrated pulse profiles seem decent; since I followed the instructions for the integration time, I believe RFI had most to do with my pulses being hard to distinguish. I was unable to find any other searches of my pulsar - besides my first few failures.
Edit: It looks like there was a lot of RFI; the DM peaks at zero and the sub-band plot has a horizontal line.

My observation seemed to sustain a fair amount of radio frequency interference, as my pulses were distinguishable but not smooth. I looked through 25 of the archive pages and did not find my pulsar among them. As a comparison, I used the ATNF catalog to compare my results with the literature results, and found that my DM values were 1 DM less than the catalog’s. Because I only captured two main pulses, I think that more integration time would help me see the pulse pattern on a larger scale, thus making analysis easier.]]> 2017-03-25 23:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/zodiac_webster/5vi24uia8vj/wish/162590356 Cynthia Dong https://padlet.com/zodiac_webster/5vi24uia8vj/wish/162598149 I'm going to re-do my pulsar reading because it didn't recognize my pulsar name, interestingly enough

It has a right ascension of three hours, fifty-eight minutes, and fifty four seconds with a declination of fifty-four degrees, thirteen minutes, and thirteen point seven hundred and twenty-seven seconds. It has a period of 0.1563824178 seconds, and is part of a binary star system with a mean flux density of 23. The epoch is 54096 MJD, the barycentric frequency is 6.3945110925 Hz, and the best estimate distance based on YMW16 DM is 1 kpc.

Which is fairly low compared to others. I think there was a RFI just because of how low my DM was. Also if you look at the DM x^2 graph it peaks at zero which is a strong indicator of RFI. ]]> 2017-05-11 21:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/zodiac_webster/5vi24uia8vj/wish/171374425
