Pulsar Lab Teaching Resources

This page contains all the resources needed to complete the pulsar lab, including a recording of pulsar B0329+54 and a pre-configured GNU Radio flowgraph for analyzing the signal. These tools allow students to explore real astrophysical data in a hands-on way, focusing on pulse detection, timing, and physical interpretation. Use these materials alongside the lab manual to guide your analysis and deepen your understanding of neutron stars and their role in radio astronomy and SETI.

Ensure students have the data file downloaded and GNU Radio installed prior to starting the lab. Instructions for installing GNU Radio can be found here: https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGR
