Pulsar Observation Group at UVA
Abstract
The Pulsar Observation Group at UVA, which currently consists of approximately 15 undergraduate students, uses the Long Wavelength Array to observe and construct timing solutions for a number of pulsars over the course of the academic year. Each pulsar observed has either no previously published timing solution or a solution which was published over thirty years ago. Our group, which was recently recognized as an official student organization at UVA, consists of members with varying levels of research experience, providing an opportunity for younger students to familiarize themselves with valuable techniques and engage with useful scientific material. The timing solutions we produce are uploaded to a public database, and our methodology is published on our website for any interested parties to easily access.
