I recently published my new fitpdf distribution fitting software on GitHub. The fitpdf software suite fits complex mixture models of various distributions to observed data. This is useful for characterising pulsar or fast radio burst (FRB) pulse energy distributions.
fitpdf operates in a Bayesian and completely unbinned way, thereby maximising …
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 …

Here is a local copy …
more ...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 …
more ...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 …

Over the weekend, I created a website for our SUSPECT (Science Using Single-Pulse Exploration with Combined Telescopes) pulsar observing project. In this project, we characterise and try to understand the wideband pulsar radio emission with high-sensitivity multi-frequency observations obtained from several radio telescopes in Europe and India. We aim to …
more ...I recently submitted the Science Using Single-Pulse Exploration with Combined Telescopes (SUSPECT) paper I to the Astronomy & Astrophysics journal and submitted it to the arXiv shortly afterwards. It gives an overview of the SUSPECT multi-telescope observing project and demonstrates several new data analysis techniques on a small subset of the …
