Hi All,

I have recently noticed that the number of Gaussian signals being detected has dramatically decreased in the last couple of weeks. Any ideas why? I have noticed that most of the work units are coming from Green bank. Could this be the reason?

Regards,
Bob

The number of any signal type is really determined by the observation target.

The number of any signal type is really determined by the observation target.

And more significantly by whether the telescope is steadily sweeping the sky rather than tracking a fixed point amongst the stars... A Gaussian profile as seen as the telescope view steadily sweeps across a signal source.

... Or if instead a RFI source steadily flies across the telescope view...

RFI: Radio Frequency Interference, especially stray radar reflections scattering off an aircraft flying nearby!
