The Third Year of the Pulsar Observers Group at UVA

The Pulsar Observation Group is an undergraduate research organization at the University of Virginia. Founded in 2017, this group allows students, including those with no prior research experience, to partake in the pulsar timing process from start to finish. Using observational data from the Long Wavelength Array, timing solutions are constructed for a number of pulsars over the course of the academic year. Students are able to participate in finding novel timing solutions since each pulsar studied either has no published timing solution or has not been updated for at least five years. As a recognized student organization at UVA, the Pulsar Observation Group increases student access to research in the field of astronomy and familiarizes students with current research methodologies. Additionally, our timing solutions are published to an online database, and our resources are available on our website for easy public access.
