I've just managed to have a decent read of this and I'm very impressed. It's a cool summary of what we do and how we do it, here at E@H. The 'case study' of our first pulsar discovery reads like a detective story. Engrossing. It really places E@H firmly in the context of the entire pipeline of data processing from antenna feed to publication. One could liken us to a metal detector on a sandy beach. You do a blind but clever & hopeful search, upon triggering you dig. I recommend this as the standard reference for anyone who asks what we're about.
I note we may be taking data from Effelsberg and others in the future. Eventually maybe the SKA! Plus of course we take over world via every Android-ish device on the planet. :-)
Hear, hear!
Cheers, Mike.
