Full Article
Jim Van Prooyen (Software Engineer) of Grand Rapids, Michigan, has been developing and refining software for the detection of Pulsars for the past 6 years. His unique software program has enabled him to capture many pulsars at 406.7 MHz, using a 10 foot (3mtr)antenna.
The attached Pulsar Information as follows: The PDF file listed is a histogram (or plot) of the Pulsar B0031-07. This is a pulsar with a period of 0.9429509945998 seconds. It has three modes of drifting sub pulses. This can be seen between index 95, and 103, (on the x-axis) and again between 161, and 172. It also produces giant pulses approximately once in 800 periods (~ 754.3608 seconds). Due to the folding of the data over an observation period of 3600 seconds there should be several giant pulses visible in the plot, this is supported by the data at index 118 and 183 (on the x-axis).
At the GRRO facility, Jim also does VLF and 1.4 GHz work as well but, as you will see from the graphics (to be posted within a day or so). Results are spectacular. In fact, a few international organizations have been in touch with Mr. Van Prooyen for developing their programs etc. Mr. Van Prooyen will also be launching a Pulsar Retrieval Program in which individuals will be able to work with Mr. Van Prooyen.
