The ALFA Pulsar Survey has discovered and confirmed 38 new pulsars to date. ... This program, developed by Duncan Lorimer and David Champion, searches for new pulsars in real time. ... The P-ALFA consortium plans to reduce all the data using its full frequency and time resolution, a far more computer-intensive job. ... From the confirmation and timing observations made to date, it is clear that this millisecond pulsar (MSP) is in a binary system with an orbital period of several hundred days. ...

... 2.3 Data acquisition Spectra generated by the Multibeam correlator contain the usual structure seen in spectra from other H i instruments: a bandpass spectrum which is the sum of the sky , ground and receiver temperatures multiplied by the product of the filters in the receiver chain; superimposed on this is a noise ... Note also that sources extended much beyond ,40 arcmin can be imaged poorly in HIPASS images because of the bandpass sidelobe effect described in Section 3.3. ...
