Anisotropic Screens and the EVN Backend Recording at Effelsberg I: David Dunlap Fellow, K.N. Z.P
We thank B. Marcote for help with the EVN observations; R. Karuppusamy for help with the pulsar backend recording at Effelsberg; D. Jow for discussions about anisotropic screens; J. Cordes and S. Ocker for answering questions about NE2001; and J. Hessels for discussions. An MIT Kavli Fellow is K.N. Z.P. was a Dunlap Fellow and gets funding from the NWO Veni fellowship. There are two grants that P.B. is supported by, one from the United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation (BSF) and the other from the Israel Science Foundation. P.K. is supported in part by an NSF grant AST-2009619 and a NASA grant 80NSSC24K0770. M.W.S. acknowledges support from the program. A.P.C. is a Vanier Canada graduate. The David Dunlap family established an endowment for the Dunlap Institute at the University of Toronto. B.M.G. acknowledges the support of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) through grant RGPIN-2022-03163, and of the Canada Research Chairs programme. V.M.K. is supported by an R. HowardWebster Foundation fellowship, an R.Cizr discovery grant and a James McGill Professorship. C.L. is supported by NASA through the NASA Hubble Fellowship grant HST-HF2-51536.001-A awarded by the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under NASA contract NAS5-26555. K.W.M. holds the Adam J. Burgasser Chair in Astrophysics and is supported by NSF grants (2008031 and 2018490). The Doctoral programme is funded by the NSERC Canada graduate scholarships. A.B.P. is a Banting Fellow, a McGill Space Institute (MSI) Fellow, and a Fonds de Recherche du Quebec – Nature et Technologies (FRQNT) postdoctoral fellow. K.S. is supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program. The research is supported by an grant from the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. The baseband recording system on CHIME/FRB is funded in part by a CFI John R. Evans Leaders Fund grant to IHS. We would like to thank the staff and directors at the EVN stations for allowing us to use their facilities. Independent European, African, Asian, and North American radio astronomy institutes work together to create the European VLBI Network. Scientific results from data presented in this publication are derived from the following EVN project code: RN002.
