I recently submitted the following three photos to the 2024 CNRS photo competition called “Regarde la science”. Please see the images and their descriptions below.
Caption: Overview of the Nançay Radio Astronomical Observatory. The photo shows the three main radio telescopes that our research group uses to observe radio pulsars …
more ...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 …
more ...Here is a recent group photo of the CNRS Orléans/Nançay pulsar and Fast Radio Burst team as of February 2024. The two PhD students were present for the photo, but the 2024 Master’s students had not yet arrived. Other team members who are primarily based at the Nançay …
more ...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.
So far, I have always maintained my publication list manually as a LaTeX file, adding new publications as they were accepted or made public. However, doing so was an extremely tedious and frankly dull task, more so because some application processes require you to submit separate lists that include all …
more ...I recently uploaded our scatfit pulse profile scattering fit and simulation software to the official Python Package Index (PyPI). That means you can install it simply by typing
$ pip install scatfit
in one of your shell windows.
As scatfit includes compiled binary extensions to speed up the model evaluation (by …
Killian Lebreton recently finished his Master’s M2 research project with us with waving flags. He did an excellent defence presentation and wrote a strong Master’s thesis report. He will graduate from the University of Orléans’ Physics programme in early 2024.
I was his day-to-day supervisor over the last …
more ...My MeerKAT FRB paper was accepted for publication!
Please find the abstract and selected plots from the paper below.
more ...We present a sample of well-localised Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) discovered by the MeerTRAP project at the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa. We discovered the three FRBs in single coherent tied-array …
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 …
more ...I recently started a new academic research position at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the Université d’Orléans in the beautiful city of Orléans, France. I will work on pulsars and Fast Radio Bursts as part of a more extensive multi-wavelength collaboration and with several radio …
more ...We had a bit of a “paper splash” today with 4 new MeerTRAP FRB papers posted on the arXiv this morning. I just wanted to quickly share the excitement with you, as it is quite a rare opportunity, at least for such a significant release.
Please find the links to …
