Abstract:
The Allen Telescope Array (ATA) is a 42-dish radio array in Hat Creek, California, operated by the SETI Institute. For the last few years, the ATA has been undergoing a refurbishment program, and the instrument is now exiting its commissioning stage and commencing science observations with a 20-element beamformer outfitted with upgraded feeds. In this presentation, a follow-up to Dr. Wael Farah’s ATA instrumentation talk from a few weeks ago, I will summarize current science programs at the ATA, including radio technosignature / Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) surveys, long-term pulsar scintillation monitoring, observations of repeating Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) environment characterization, and follow-up radio counterpart observations for transients such as Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs).
