STARE2 Data of ST 200428A (=FRB 200428)

Description

candidate_ovro_200428.fil - filterbank data of ST 200428A from OVRO. candidate_gdscc_200428.fil - filterbank data of ST 200428A from GDSCC. candidate_delta_200428.fil - filterbank data of ST 200428A from Delta. The data are in filterbank format, which consists of a header that begins with HEADER START and ends with HEADER END, followed by unsigned shorts corresponding to the power in a given frequency channel at a given time. The data have been normalized by the passband and channels containing RFI have been replaced with the mean power. We note that we use a custom filterbank header that includes the following keys in addition to the standard filterbank header keys: MJD_hour - The hour (in MJD-7hr) that the (typically 5 hr long) observing track started. MJD_minute - The minute (in MJD-7hr) that the observing track started. MJD_second - The second (in MJD-7hr) that the observing track started. MJD_start - The integer day (in MJD-7hr) that the observing track started. cand_location - The number of time samples after the start of the observing track that the candidate is located. end_sample - The index of the last time sample contained in the filterbank file. start_sample - The sample of the first time sample contained in the filterbank file.
