Pulsar Search Results from the Arecibo Remote Command Center
Abstract
The Arecibo Remote Command Center (ARCC) at the University of Texas at Brownsville is currently engaged in searching for radio pulsars in collaboration with a multi-beam galactic plane survey, P-ALFA, ongoing at the Arecibo radio observatory. ARCC is an integrated research/education facility that allows students at the high school and undergraduate level to be directly involved with the research at the Arecibo telescope. We discuss the progress of our search effort that currently uses the PRESTO pulsar search pipeline. Web based tools were developed so that students could rank the pulsar candidates created by the PRESTO analysis. We describe these tools and present the current pulsar candidates found.
