Title P865 - Commensal searches for microhertz gravitational waves and fast radio bursts: A pilot study
 
Subject Astronomical and Space Sciences not elsewhere classified
 
Description We are searching for two types of signals in this project. We are using pulsars to search for gravitational waves, a type of energy that Einstein predicted would exist, but no-one has seen yet. At the same time, we are searching bursts of radio waves thought to originate billions of light years away. Only a half dozen have been seen and not a lot is known about them. If this project is succesfull, it shows how we can get a "two-for-one deal" from the Dish: two exciting scientific results at the same time!
