This week, we hosted the Science at Low Frequencies (SALF) conference 2025 in Orléans.

Most of the Nançay/Orléans pulsar and transient team, along with myself, attended the Pulsar 2025 conference in Sardinia this week. The conference was a success and overall a great experience.

Here is a strongly compressed PDF version of my poster about single-pulse modulation properties with the SUSPECT project multi-frequency …

I recently presented our work on the Sub-GHz Radio Pulsar Emission - Lessons Learned and Predictions for SKA at the SKAO General Science Meeting in Görlitz, Germany. This included some of our NenuFAR Pulsar Census results and some work done as part of the SUSPECT project.

Here is a local copy …

I recently presented our current work from the SUSPECT project at the Les Houches conference in the French Alps near Chamonix.

Additionally, I gave an invited review talk about fast radio bursts (FRBs) and what we know about them from the observational side.

Here is a local copy of my …

This week, I participated in a busy day at Paris Meudon focused on calibrating data (beam model, polarization, pointing, flux densities) from the NenuFAR radio telescope. I gave a short presentation about my work on absolute flux density calibrating data from various radio telescopes, including NenuFAR, uGMRT, and LOFAR.

Here …

I recently attended the AstroRadioFr24 conference at the École normale supérieure (ENS) in the heart of Paris, where I presented two talks about radio pulsars and fast radio bursts (FRBs). The conference also aimed to prepare the French radio astronomy community for the arrival of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA …

I recently attended the MeerKAT@5 conference in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The conference celebrated the first (approximately) five years of science operations of the MeerKAT telescope array. I presented the “Sample Properties and Implications from the MeerTRAP FRBs Discovered with MeerKAT” as a contributed poster.

Fortunately, the organisers made most …

I recently remotely attended the SALF IX conference, where I presented a one-slide summary of our work on the single-pulse properties of radio pulsars as a pre-recorded video.

The screenshot below shows my summary slide, and a local copy of my sparkler video is available, too.

We had a good representation of the Orléans/Nançay pulsar and FRB team at the 2023 Kerastari neutron star & FRB meeting in Greece. Overall, we had five talks from the group covering topics from FRBs and pulsars to SETI.

It was a truly excellent meeting! The talk quality and topic …

I recently had the privilege and opportunity to travel to South Korea and present my research at the IAU General Assembly 2022 in Busan. In particular, I gave a face-to-face presentation at the IAU369 FRB symposium about my FRB research with the MeerKAT telescope.

Unfortunately, my outward flight from the …

I have a new publication on the arXiv this week. It is a short conference proceedings paper (ADASS XXX 2020) on some technical development work that we did (and are still working on) as part of the MeerTRAP project regarding real-time triggering techniques for Fast Radio Bursts. I am pretty …
