We present an improvement of our implementation of the Correlation Technique for the Fourier Domain Acceleration Search (FDAS) algorithm on Graphics Processor Units (GPUs) (Dimoudi & Armour 2015; Dimoudi et al. 2017). Our new improved…
Pulsar acceleration searches are methods for recovering signals from radio telescopes, that may otherwise be lost due to the effect of orbital acceleration in binary systems. The vast amount of data that will be produced by next generation…
Binary pulsars are an important target for radio surveys because they present a natural laboratory for a wide range of astrophysics for example testing general relativity, including detection of gravitational waves. The orbital motion of a…
Using the Fourier Domain Acceleration Search (FDAS) method to search for binary pulsars is a computationally costly process. Next generation radio telescopes will have to perform FDAS in real time, as data volumes are too large to store.…

Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are widely used in the central signal processing design of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) as acceleration hardware. The frequency domain acceleration search (FDAS) module is an important part of the…
While binary pulsar systems are fantastic laboratories for a wide array of astrophysics, they are particularly difficult to detect. The orbital motion of the pulsar changes its apparent spin frequency over the course of an observation,…
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project will be the world largest radio telescope array. With its large number of antennas, the number of signals that need to be processed is dramatic. One important element of the SKA's Central Signal…
Rotation measure (RM) synthesis is a widely used polarization processing algorithm for reconstructing polarized structures along the line of sight. Performing RM synthesis on large datasets produced by telescopes like LOFAR can be…
FFT (fast Fourier transform) plays a very important role in many fields, such as digital signal processing, digital image processing and so on. However, in application, FFT becomes a factor of affecting the processing efficiency, especially…
Time-domain radio astronomy utilizes a harmonic sum algorithm as part of the Fourier domain periodicity search, this type of search is used to discover single pulsars. The harmonic sum algorithm is also used as part of the Fourier domain…
Similarity search, the task of identifying objects most similar to a given query object under a specific metric, has gathered significant attention due to its practical applications. However, the absence of coordinate information to…
With large-scale Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) surveys of thousands of galaxies currently under-way or planned, the astronomical community is in need of methods, techniques and tools that will allow the analysis of huge amounts of data.…

The Fast Folding Algorithm (FFA) is a phase-coherent search technique for periodic signals. It has rarely been used in radio pulsar searches, having been historically supplanted by the less computationally expensive Fast Fourier Transform…
Here we present an in-depth study of the behaviour of the Fast Folding Algorithm, an alternative pulsar searching technique to the Fast Fourier Transform. Weaknesses in the Fast Fourier Transform, including a susceptibility to red noise,…
Applications in many domains require processing moving object trajectories. In this work, we focus on a trajectory similarity search that finds all trajectories within a given distance of a query trajectory over a time interval, which we…
Though Fourier Transforms (FTs) are a common technique for finding correlation functions, they are not typically used in computations of the anisotropy of the two-point correlation function (2PCF) about the line of sight in wide-angle…
Searching for periodic non-accelerated signals in presence of ideal white noise using the fully phase-coherent Fast Folding Algorithm (FFA) is theoretically established as a more sensitive search method than the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)…
