In this project, I aim to detect only one pulsar - B0329 + 54. It is the most powerful radio pulsar in the Northern Hemisphere. It is located in the constellation Camelopardalis ( Girafe ) and should be easy to find. Data from ATNF Pulsar Catalogue Name B0329+54 PSRJ J0332+5434 Right Ascension 03:32:59.368 Declination +54:34:43.57 […]
Step to the neutron stars 2. Radiometer equation
Let us consider a source of unpolarized flux density . This flux is collected by a telescope with an effective area of , where is the geometric area of the telescope and is the efficiency of the telescope. Since the contribution of each of the polarization is half in the total flux, so the power […]
Step to the neutron stars 1. Intro
This year I had started the most complicated project which I had ever done -- radiotelescope. First, I saw the idea of home radiotelescope in the book Wojciechowcki from 1977 (actually quite an exciting book with many brilliant ideas). Later I saw the efforts to build it at the Kyiv Astro club forum. But what I'm […]
