Project

The goal of the BSA-Analytics project is to search for pulsars and fast transients of the RRAT/FRB type.
This task was made possible by a combination of a number of factors. These factors are:

• modernization of the antenna BSA FIAN, after which its sensitivity increased 3-4 times;
• the possibility of monitoring on the antenna in 96 independent directions in the sky;
• collected archive of monitoring observations going since 2014;
• availability of digital receivers that allow recording on small time constants and in many frequency channels;
• availability of a programmer capable of solving all technical tasks.

The project was started in 2015, when we created the program BSA-Analytics, discovered first pulsars, and published first articles.
